As the sun gets brighter and brighter and the days get longer and longer we thought a lovely choice would be summery wines. The Americans can make some absolute beauties, especially Pinot Noir and Chardonnay!
La Crema Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2012 @ 25.95
For the first Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, a blend was chosen that best displayed the classic elegance, earthiness, focused acidity and vibrant fruit of the Willamette Valley while honoring the La Crema style, which emphasizes beautiful balance and supple texture. The nose is interesting and complex with hints of star anise, marionberry, violets (an Oregon native) and bay leaf, while the palate displays more coffee bean, pomegranate, brambly fruit, and candied orange zest.
La Crema Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2013 @ £21.95
This exceptional release offers up vibrant red cherry aromas that mingle with alluring cola, sweet spice and coffee bean tones. The palate is generous – reflecting this vintage's near-perfect ripening conditions. Brambly fruit flavours combine with black licorice and classic earthy notes. Excellent concentration and mature, beautifully textured tannins create a broad, supple mouthfeel that lingers well into the back palate
La Crema Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2014 @ £17.95
This wine opens with layered aromas of fresh Meyer lemon, shortbread and ripe pear. On the palate are flavors of baked, locally grown, Gravenstein apple framed by hints of sweet spice and white peach. The end result is a broad, juicy, and beautifully balanced mouthfeel.
La Crema Monterey Chardonnay 2014 @ £17.95
Oak smoke, vanilla and an underlying aroma of crisp apple show on the nose of this widely available wine, a reliable choice for all types of parties. Apple and pear lead into white peach on the palate, with a strong oaky seasoning.
All of these gorgeous wines are available to taste so come on down and see what these are made of!
Cheers!
