TASTING NOTES
Running 120 miles North to South from Portland to Eugene, Oregon’s Willamette Valley AVA is in the Northwest corner of the state. The region is known for producing unique wines that are able to find a balance between New World and Old World expression. Boasting a Mediterranean climate with maritime influence and diverse soil types, it is no surprise that the Willamette Valley is now recognized as one of the premier Pinot Noir growing regions in the world. The fruit for this wine is sourced from eight vineyards spread across four sub-appellations of the Willamette Valley. It’s one of the world’s best cool-climate appellations. Overall, 2018 was a balanced growing season. Budbreak came in April, slightly later that pasts seasons, and was followed by a compressed bloom and veraison which put the season back on a typical schedule. Throughout the summer and early fall, conditions were ideal with warm days, cool nights, and a lack of large rainstorms. The fruit was able to reach full flavor development and was brought in at its peak. The grapes were hand-picked and hand-sorted in the cool of the morning before being gently de-stemmed with a portion of the fruit side aside for whole cluster fermentation. The wine is cold soaked for three to five days before being inoculated with select yeast strains. During fermentation in open-top tanks, the cap is manipulated with pump-overs or punch downs up to two times a day depending on what the fruit is showing. Post-fermentation, free-run wine was settled for a minimum of two days before racking to new and used French oak barrels. The wine was aged without racking until final blending.

La Crema Discover La Crema winery in California and its fine wines in our online store La Crema winery was founded in 1979, before the Russian River Valley became the most famous production area for Chardonnay and Pinot Nero in all of California. In 1993 Jess Jackson bought the estate and, thanks to the help of the famous winemaker Dan Goldfield , gave great impetus and vitality to wine production. La Crema soon expanded to include vineyards in Sonoma County, Mendocino and Monterey. In 2012, the borders of California were crossed to acquire several hectares of Pinot Noir in Oregon. These wine-growing areas are united by the particularly cool temperatures , the breezy climate and the alluvial soil. The cellar techniques are traditional and enhance the terroir with the aim of enhancing qualitative excellence. The wines produced, fully reflect the territory of origin.
