La Crema's Monterey Pinot Noir captures the essence of cool-climate winemaking. Monterey's maritime influence extends the growing season, allowing grapes to develop complexity.

Night harvesting and careful cold-soaking precede open-top fermentation with frequent punch-downs for depth of color and flavor. Eight months in French oak—a blend of new and neutral barrels—adds structure without overwhelming the wine's natural character.

Expect aromas of tart cherry and rhubarb, with flavors of red plum and cranberry. The result is a wine of rich texture and vibrant acidity, true to both Pinot Noir and its terroir. La Crema's three decades of cool-climate expertise shine through in every bottle.
