La Crema
2011 Chardonnay Russian River Valley
91 Points Charles Olken, Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine 91 points - Two Stars

Simply put, this is a deep and fairly serious look at Chardonnay that ranks among the better bottlings we have seen from this label. It exhibits a raft of rich, optimally ripened fruit with a fine veneer of sweet oak and creamy accents of lees, and, if fleshy and fairly full on the palate, it is exceptionally well-balanced. It shows far more depth and fruity confidence than is the norm for the vintage, and it is certain to age with great grace for a number of years.

2011 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast
91 Points Natalie MacLean, Natalie MacLean Wine Reviews & Ratings

Classic Californian Chardonnay with toast, oak and green apple. Full-bodied, and generously layered. Lots of citrus on the palate with some white floral notes on the finish. Medium- to full-bodied and lip-smacking tasty.

La Crema
2010 Chardonnay Russian River Valley
91 Points Natalie MacLean, Natalie MacLean Wine Reviews & Ratings

A full-bodied, well-rounded, buttery wine with lovely balancing acidity and citrus fruit notes. Ideal for roast chicken or seafood with cream sauces, as well as lobster in butter.

La Crema
2010 Chardonnay Los Carneros
91 Points Josh Raynolds, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Bright yellow-gold. A perfumed bouquet displays scents of fresh pear, smoky lees and honeysuckle. Appealingly sweet on the palate, offering a suave interplay of ripe orchard and citrus fruit flavors and showing a seamless quality. The persistent, mineral-driven finish shows a faintly smoky quality and a touch of iodine.

La Crema
2010 Chardonnay Arroyo Seco
91 Points Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

This Chardonnay is marked by brisk acidity, and pure, clean flavors of pineapples, golden mangoes, stony minerals and smoky butter. It's made for drinking now with upscale fare.

La Crema
2009 Chardonnay Monterey
91 Points Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast Magazine 91 points - Editor's Choice

Here's a classically rich, barrel-aged Chardonnay. With a beautiful golden color, it brims with pineapple, golden mango and lemon custard flavors, enhanced with bright, citrusy acidity. Very fine and classy, at a great price.

2009 Chardonnay Russian River Valley
91 Points Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

Dry, racy and clean. Shows real class, with plenty of zesty lemon and lime acidity, brightening the citrus, lemongrass, white peach and mineral flavors.

La Crema
2009 Chardonnay Los Carneros
91 Points Josh Raynolds, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar

Bright gold. Ripe melon and peach aromas are lifted by zesty lemon pith and white pepper nuances. Juicy, focused honeydew and citrus flavors show impressive power and pick up toasty leesiness with air. Smooth and seamless in texture, with excellent finishing thrust and lingering smokiness.

La Crema
2009 Nine Barrel Chardonnay
91 Points Antonio Galloni, Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2009 Chardonnay Nine Barrel is a selection from the estate's best barrels of Russian River juice. It is an effortless, gracious wine laced with tropical fruit, sweet spices, pastry and lemon. Although the wine is quite rich in its flavor profile, there is no sense at all of heaviness. The Nine Barrel was vinified in French oak barrels (34% new), with full malolactic fermentation and lees stirring every 2-3 weeks. This is an impeccable wine from La Crema and winemaker Elizabeth Grant-Douglas. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016.

La Crema
2008 Chardonnay Russian River Valley
91 Points Robert M. Parker Jr., Robert Parker Wine Advocate

An exceptional effort, the 2008 Chardonnay Russian River was put through 100% malolactic fermentation. It exhibits a more honeyed style with notes of brioche, poached pears, and buttery citrus in its elegant, full-bodied personality. This impressively endowed Chardonnay should drink nicely for 3-4 years.

La Crema
2008 Chardonnay Los Carneros
91 Points Robert Whitley, Wine Review Online

La Crema is something of a Chardonnay specialist, consistently producing excellent wines from this grape grown in various California appellations. The 2008 Los Carneros Chard is a good example of the winemaker's deft touch with this grape. Although this wine has a robust alcohol by volume of 14.5 percent, the delicate aromas of lemon oil and spice shine, and the wine is creamy and mouth-filling without being too hot or too heavy. It's big enough, though, that it needs a rich pasta dish or an oily grilled fish to show its best.

La Crema
2007 Chardonnay Los Carneros
91 Points Anthony Dias Blue, The Tasting Panel

Juicy, bright and showing citrus and white flowers with racy acidity; complex and charming with a long, elegant finish.

La Crema
2007 Chardonnay Los Carneros
91 Points Robert M. Parker Jr., Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 3,000 case lot of 2007 Chardonnay Carneros is superb. Complex notes of hazelnut, popcorn, orange marmalade, and background oak are subtle yet persistent. Drink this beauty over the next several years.

La Crema
2002 Chardonnay Russian River Valley
91 Points Robert M. Parker Jr., Robert Parker Wine Advocate 91

A beautiful wine for the price. Aged nine months on its lees, it offers abundant quantities of pear, honeysuckle, and toast notes in a medium to full-bodied, exotic, fruit forward format. It is hard not to get excited about this delicious Chardonnay, which begs for consumption over the next 1-2 years.

La Crema
2001 Nine Barrel Chardonnay
91 Points Robert M. Parker Jr., Robert Parker Wine Advocate 91 - An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character.

It is a full-bodied, unctiously-textured effort revealing notes of tangerine oil, honeyed grapefruit, peaches, and a hint of cloves. This pure, ripe, lusty Chardonnay should be drunk over the next 1-2 years.

La Crema
2000 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast
91 Points Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast Magazine 91 - Exceptional Editor's Choice

From this red hot AVA, this exciting Chard rocks with bold, penetrating fruit. You can taste the cool, ocean tang, which coaxed out apples and citrus, while winemaker bells and whistles, such as barrel fermentation and sur lie aging, provide welcome complexities. They completed the malolactic fermentation, which softens the wine a bit but makes it buttery and creamy.

91 Points James Laube, Wine Spectator 91 - Outstanding, a wine of superior character and style

A real mouthful, with rich, plush, chocolaty plum and blackberry fruit that's complex and concentrated, picking up herb, mocha, black cherry nuances. Shows a trace of heat on the finish, but also a gush of rich fruit flavors.

91 Points Lisa Perrotti-Brown, Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2015 Pinot Noir Jackson Estate Sonoma Coast reveals attractive cranberry, pomegranate and rhubarb notes with touches of rose hip tea, menthol, lavender and fragrant earth. Medium-bodied with lovely a satiny texture and fantastic freshness cutting through the intense red fruit flavors, it finishes long and perfumed.

91 Points Robert Whitley, Wine Review Online

Mendocino County’s cool Anderson Valley, which runs east-west toward the Pacific Ocean, now rivals the Russian River Valley in the California pinot noir arena. The 2015 Outland Ridge pinot from Jackson Estate is another beauty from Anderson Valley, showing excellent concentration and beautiful aromas of cherry and spice, good balance and structure and a lingering finish.

This plush-textured wine effortlessly blends ripe fruit, light spices and touches of oak to glide easily across the palate. While full bodied it is not heavy, but well balanced by good acidity and fine-grained tannins.
