The La Crema Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir has aromas of boysenberry, cherry, and sweet tobacco accompanied by flavours of raspberry, blackberry and cherry.

The La Crema Willamette Valley Pinot Noir has savoury notes of oak complemented by initial notes of sweet cherry, raspberry, and roasted plum, which give way to rustic tannins, contributing to a supple overall texture.

Made in Oregon, this wine pairs with fattier foods such as filet mignon, prime rib, nuts like hazelnut and rare fish, such as salmon.

While this may be for those with a higher budget, it is certainly an excellent choice for any celebration.

If we haven’t managed to win you over and convince you red wine is a great summer wine, La Crema’s Pinot Noir Rosé is the perfect compromise – so you can still celebrate!
