La Crema Pinot Noir 2000

Russian River, Sonoma County, California, United StatesExpressive black cherry licorice cola compost aromas waft out of the glass. Definitely cherry plum and vanilla flavours with creamy smoke and just a dusting of tannin. Quite a spicy aftertaste. Despite an open top fermentation regime with punch-downs four times a day and nine months barrel ageing in 44 per cent new French oak barrels this unfiltered and unfined pinot is extremely elegant.Tasted: 28 February 2003Tasted by: Prices:
