Brought by a guest to lunch last Sunday who adores this wine. I have always found it over oaked and very ripe fruit but this was a much better showing. Still a big barrel ferment character and stone fruit notes but not ultra ripe. M minus acid and not for long keeping but a crowd pleaser right now. Great QPR.

Drank 4/22/21.

Scents of pear, baked apple, and toasted oak are quite nice. Palate with toasted oak, lemon curd, and apple. Round, toasty, medium finish.

4/21/8/4/3 +50 = 90 pts.

Better than expected.

Papaya, grass, buttery sugar cookies, good acidity, well balanced.

The straw colored wine offers a bountiful nose, full of floral notes, citrus, stone fruit and a decent helping of oak spice. The mouthfeel is full and creamy, yet with an acidity that is just short of racy. The fruity palate is draped with enough oak so that you know it’s there, but not so much that it is a bother. La Crema has a nice sipping Chardonnay here.
