Winemaker Notes
A particularly pure expression of the Russian River Valley terroir, this vintage offers aromas of yellow apple and pear, with hints of butterscotch and spice. Flavors of pear and citrus continue in the mouth, enveloped by a juicy mid-palate, with an appealing kiss of toast leading to an elegant, rich finish.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
An exceptional effort, the 2008 Chardonnay Russian River was put through 100% malolactic fermentation. It exhibits a more honeyed style with notes of brioche, poached pears, and buttery citrus in its elegant, full-bodied personality. This impressively endowed Chardonnay should drink nicely for 3-4 years.

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.
