La Crema Russian River Pinot Noir 2022
Aroma
Red cherry, raspberry, and hints of rose petal.
Palate
Flavors of boysenberry, plum, and subtle earthy elements. Followed by plush, fine-integrated tannins balanced by a juicy acidity.
Vinification
The fruit is sourced from several vineyards throughout the Russian River Valley. Notable vineyards in this wine include Saralee’s, Bellflower, and Barbieri. Clones include 777, 115, 667, with soil predominantly free draining and low vigor.
Vintage Notes
The Russian River Valley experienced a challenging 2022 growing season. An unseasonably sunny and warm February, prompted early budbreak, leaving vines susceptible to early season frost. Overall Spring and early Summer were trouble free, bringing the heat in late August, accelerating ripening, and bringing on a fast-paced harvest. Yields were lower than average in the Valley, but the fruit has great concentration and flavor in the wines as a result. Our Pinot Noir harvest began on August 26th.
