2023 La Crema Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 6pk 6x750ml

Rod Bergland founded La Crema Vinera in 1979 in a Petaluma business park after working harvests for Joseph Swan, launching with a Russian River Valley Pinot Noir that same year. Jackson Family Wines bought the operation in 1993, shortened the name to La Crema, and invested over $12 million to build a Russian River facility focused on cool-climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from Pacific coast appellations. Today it's one of the fifty largest wineries in the country, producing over 360,000 cases annually—and the only Russian River producer with an ownership stake in a French stave farm.

Decanter gave the 2023 vintage a 5/5 rating: “The wines that were made from the 2023 vintage in Oregon’s Willamette Valley are beautiful. There’s a grace and refinement stamped across them, from their aromatics to their polished finishes. And there’s a precocious nature to them, too: perfect for those without patience.”
