La Crema
Russian River Valley Chardonnay
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Pale lemon with aromas of nice ripe stone and tropical fruits with floral spice notes. Sourced from 7 vineyards, aged for 10 months in 33% new French oak, the palate shows apple, peach and pineapple fruit flavors with a nice dollop of citrus and toasty oak. Well balanced, fresh long finish ending with creamy mineral character. Nice value.

Consistently one of the BEST buttery Chardonnay bottles I have ever consumed. So smooth and tasty with just about anything.

Love this Chardonnay. Crisp stone fruit and bright fresh flavors surprise your mouth at first, then the soft and rich mouthfeel slides in to create a harmonious bond. This beautifully blurs the lines between crisp steel fermentation flavors, and rich wholesome oak barrels. Definitely not just another La Crema Chardonnay, this is something special

A great vintage for Northern California. Does La Crema still exist as a stand alone winery.

Vibrant straw yellow with tint of green. Floral and pear aroma. Not as sweet or floral as I expected on the palate, which I prefer, but not as buttery as I thought either. Very balanced. I would pair with oysters.
