COMMENTARY: La Crema is one of the most consistent producers of excellent value Sonoma Coast Chardonnays. The 2018 vintage is spot-on. TASTING NOTES: This wine is bright and frisky. Enjoy its aromas and flavors of tart citrus and dried earth with a lightly-dressed Dungeness crab salad. Make sure the dressing is light. (Tasted: December 13, 2019, San Francisco, CA)

A lithe resinous aspect accents the Gala apple and lemon curd flavors, tied together by fresh acidity. The crisp, spicy finish features creamy details, with hints of anise. Drink now through 2024.

The winery's original name, La Crema Viñera, means "best of the vine," setting the standard for all the team has done since 1979. For more than 35 years, the family-owned and operated winery has focused exclusively on cool-climate appellations, from its original home in the Russian River Valley, to Monterey and, now, the Willamette Valley. La Crema is continually exploring these very special regions—passionate in the belief that they make uniquely expressive and elegant wines. Thorough vineyard site selection and boutique winemaking techniques ensure the consistently distinct, naturally balanced wines La Crema is committed to producing.
