Found this in the rhetorical back of the cellar. Certainly past it’s prime but delicious nonetheless. Wish I had cracked it two years ago

Why I held on to a La Crema for 5 years, not sure. Pleasantly surprised. Berry flavors galore. It lost some depth but very drinkable for the price which I can't even remember. May try this again.

Nice balance of fruit and mild tannin. Not very distinctive, but a good Pinot. Little past its prime.

Thanksgiving 2015 Drank alongside French Bourgogne Pinot 2012 and MacMurray 2012. Good on its own, but fell behind MacMurray.

By the glass at the BA lounge NYC . Fresh bottle just off the trolley. Quite a dark rich and sweet nose, unmistakably new world. Rich on the palate , light lactic but dominated but sweet ore of fruit . Not pursue of wine and wewouldstruggle to have more than one glass. One needs to like the style to enjoy his wine. An 87 from us but not a bad wine.

Pretty deep garnet color. Fast legs and a bit on the thin side. The nose is strawberry. It was a bit tight when I first opened. Taste is berry,but no depth. No finish. Maybe better as a summer sipping wine.

Decent entry level Pinot, but no bargain at nearly $20. It needed better than half an hour breathing to open up, but it made it a better. Believe there are better choices in up to this price range, but this is not a bad choice. La Crema entry level wines tend to be very light sippers, and this was no exception. Color was darker than expected, but did not translate into a Pinot with more heft. Really a nice red …

Big upfront red cherry and subtle licorice. Moderate acidity and soft tannins.

Bitter plum, dried bing cherries, hints of clove, a bit manufactured, but still decent balance.

Standard La Crema Sonoma Coast. Solid fruit, well rounded, a bit big for a Pinot. Enjoyable, even if a friend calls it traffiqué :)

Dinner at Copelands. Great QPR and always consistent. Ripe cherries, minerals, flowers on nose. Palate seamless and refined with solid red fruit profile. Good acidity, decent finish. Not up to my favorite Anderson valley edition, but solid nonetheless.

screwtop 375 bottle, I am usually a fan of this wine, but this was not very good. Smelled tainted, mouth was somewhat flat....going to see how the next bottle is before I completely write the La Crema off....

A nose of cherry, plum with a hint of vanilla. Stewed plums, cherry with mild tannins on a long finish. A very flavorful, smooth pinot.

Un vin très américain en raison de sa proximité du bois ... Les cerises dominent et la finale est correcte sans plus ... Un rapport qualité prix décevant en ce qui me concerne ...

- Crimsom color and aromas of cherry and strawberry. It's balanced and has flavours of cherry, oak and black pepper with a medium body. Smooth texture with a medium finish.

Delicious. Light purple color. Cherries on the nose. Cherry, cedar flavors. On the light side for a Pinot. Not an especially good value though...I actually think this is just as good as Estancia (which is about $6 cheaper).
