Our original name, La Crema Vinera, means “best of the vine,” setting the standard for all we
do since 1979. Our family-owned and operated winery focuses exclusively on cool-climate
appellations. We’re continually exploring these very special regions— passionate in our belief
that they make uniquely expressive and elegant wines.
A REMARKABLE PLACE
One of Sonoma County’s largest AVAs, the Sonoma Coast Appellation stretches from the
San Pablo Bay in the South to Mendocino County line to the North and runs primarily
along the mountainous coastline of the Paci c Ocean. A sprawling growing region, the
Sonoma Coast AVA is known for its strong maritime in uence that provides a cool growing
climate throughout the year with fog moderating warmer summer temperatures. With its
unique geography and climate, the Sonoma Coast has proven itself to be one of the world’s
premier Chardonnay producing regions.
The fruit for this wine was sourced from several of La Crema's estate vineyards including
Saralee's, Kelli Ann, and Durell. Soils across the vineyards are predominantly free draining and
low vigor. Clones include 4,5,15, 17 (Robert Young), 76, 95,96, 809, Wente, and Hyde Wente.
It’s one of the world’s best cool-climate appellations.
It’s a place for La Crema.
TASTING NOTES
Aromas of meyer lemon, gala apple, and subtle hints of oak are followed by flavors of white stone fruit, yellow plum and honeydew melon. On the palate, the wine is vibrant and concentrated with juicy acidity that drives a lingering finish.”
Wine Enthusiast
Outer quote mark Concentrated pear flavor and generous oak combine for an approachable, easygoing experience of varietal character in this likable, well-distributed wine. Melon, peach and Meyer lemon add to the fruitiness and balanced weight, the grapes from several vineyard-designated sites. (VB) Inner quote mark (2/2020)
Wine Spectator
Outer quote mark 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. (KM) Inner quote mark (4/2020)
