La Crema
2006 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
Patrick J. Comiskey, Los Angeles Times, CA American Pinot Noirs

This Pinot is all about cherries: scented red cherry at the outset, then a spicy, satisfying red cherry flavor marked by a hint of soil-scented earthiness in the finish.

Rhone-like, with earthy, smoky notes. Aromas and flavors of black cherry, plum, cola and spice. Has good depth.

Inky dark with rich, soft fruit and mineral flavors.

La Crema
2004 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley
Gerald D. Boyd, Wine Review Online

La Crema is one of a growing list of Russian River wineries producing tasty, distinctive Pinot Noir. This wine shows the inviting cherry-berry and spice side of Pinot, with medium to full (but not over-ripe) fruit and good length. Of note is the wine's excellent structure and supple finish. 92 points.

Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

88 La Crema 2004 Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley); The best, most complex of La Crema's three appellation series Pinot Noirs shows true Russian River character. It's medium-to full-bodied, with oak-tinged cherry compote, root beer and cocoa flavors. Tannic weight could help it improve for a couple of years. -- S.H.

This is a very toasty style with a hint of new shoe leather on the nose, yet the ripe black cherry and raspberry fruit shines through, with hints of spice and tar. It finishes with coating tannins and racy acidity.

2004 Pinot Noir Los Carneros
Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher, The Wall Street Journal, NY

La Crema (Los Carneros) 2004, Very Good - Great fruit, with charming, ripe flavors and real brightness. We also liked the less-expensive 2004 'Sonoma Coast' bottling.

La Crema
2004 Pinot Noir Anderson Valley
Gerald D. Boyd, Wine Review Online

The color of this bad boy is light to medium ruby, while the nose is a blend of ripe fruit, boiled tea and leather. It has dry, medium flavors, and is a bit light on the lush supple fruit you want from Pinot Noir. There is some heat in the finish. It is hard to tell if this wine, made from organically grown grapes, is serious or not, but for the price, it should be. 90 points.

Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast Magazine

87 La Crema 2004 Pinot Noir (Anderson Valley). There's a bit of leathery funk, for those who like that, to the cherry, cocoa cola and spice flavors of this dry, silky wine. It's a little soft, with a smooth, polished texture that makes it easy to drink. -- S.H.

Lynne Char Bennett, San Francisco Chronicle, CA

TWO STARS 2004 La Crema Anderson Valley Pinot Noir. The somewhat plush but reticent cherry, red raspberry nose sits atop sweet and mildly smoky oak. This isn't a big win, but has sufficient cherry-berry fruit to balance the supple, somewhat velvety feel of a clean, quaffable Pinot Noir.

From one of Sonoma County's best pinot noir producers, this La Crema packs a lot of raspberry fruit with additional notes of nutmeg and spice on the finish. A wonderfully fruity wine with lots of class and complexity.

A core of cherry fruit with a good dollop of oak. Notes of ginger and orange peel.

...more distinctive with herbal, strawberry and raspberry tones...they are fascinating in that even though they are above 14 percent alcohol, they are lighter in color than many of the other French clone pinot noirs, and yet more deeply flavored.

Editor, Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine

Ripe, moderately fruity and graced with an attractive streak of lightly toasty oak, this ripe and fairly sizeable Pinot wanders to dryness in the mouth and is betrayed at the finish by a bit more heat than it can comfortably support.
