2020 La Crema Sauvignon Blanc Sonoma Countymore |
1/27/2024 - RMapou Likes this wine: 84 pointsPerhaps I let this go too long. It was good but not as good as I remember for past wines. But it did pair well with pan seared rockfish. Drink up if you have it |

12/16/2023 - RMapou wrote: 80 pointsThis appears to be a natural wine (Ingredients: grapes, yeast, and oak), although it is not labeled as such. On the label, it is described as "Lush and Fruity," which I expect a good zin to be, but I found it rather thin and tart. Unlikely to buy this again. |
