Tasting Notes
"The 2008 La Crema Pinot Gris has aromas of orange zest and stone fruit, with subtle floral notes. Juicy citrus flavors with a minerally finish make it a versatile wine enjoyable as an aperitif or paired with light or spicy cuisine." - Melissa Stackhouse, La Crema Winemaker

The Place: Los Carneros
Los Carneros is at the southernmost tip of Sonoma County. Straddling the Napa/Sonoma County line, the Carneros hillsides roll up from the San Pablo Bay. The unique factor here is wind - a relentless cooling force that charges up through the vineyards, slowing the ripening process and keeping acids high. Our Huichica (wee-CHEEK-KA) Hills Vineyard is found on a hillside just five miles from the bay, providing ideal growing conditions for Pinot Gris. Dense clay soils stress the vines, increasing character and flavor density.
