PINOT NOIR RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY | Howell Mountain MERLOT BANCROFT RANCH | Thanksgiving
A Drinkable Feast
by
Anthony Dias BlueAside from small-batch open-top fermentation, Stewart also uses other traditional techniques such as cold pre-soaking and lees stirring to achieve classic Burgundian dimensions in his wines. La Crema’s crisp and lively 2000 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir has flavor complexity with good acidity and snappy fruit. The finish is long and balanced. This one will work from gobbler right through to cobbler.
