Slightly jammy cherries with a touch of loam on the nose and palate. It's bit too tart on the back end. The balance is teetering, but nothing has fallen. Decent.
After a couple hours it comes together. I'm adding a couple points.
It lost a step on day 2. More loam, less fruit and overall diminished slightly. A small step though -it was still good.

Translucent ruby color. Dark red fruits on the nose along with some fungal aromas and matchstick. Medium-body, medium-to-medium-low acid, medium-to-medium-light tannins. Big, sweet red fruits on the palate, especially cranberry, and decent length on the finish. Very good for the price.

Enjoyed before dinner and with lamb chops. Went perfectly with the lamb. I usually enjoy a Cabernet, but this Pinot Noir was delicate enough to enhance the flavor of the chops without overpowering.

Dark color. Nice nose of cherry and herbs and good minerality. Medium body, beaming acidity really accentuates the red fruit. Raspberry, cherry, spices, herbs. Easy drinking and easy to like, but not very complex. Good for the price point.

The Third Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir (My House, Houston, TX): Retail $25. Medium to dark color, sweet, rich nose of ripe cherry, vanilla, freshly-turned earth, and five-spice. Yum. Great fruit (cherry, red currant) and acidity on the palate, with depth and length. Yowza. A great start to the tasting. Excellent. 93 Points. thedrunkencyclist.com

Impressively well balanced and tasty for what is essentially an entry level wine for La Crema. I am not generally a fan but this one surprised me in a very good way.
Body: Medium- Acidity: Medium Tannin: Medium- Typicity: Medium+
Notes of raspberry, cherry cola, dusty earth, leather.

Night one. Cannot remember notes but we liked this wine. Put it under a rubber stopper.
I got back from a week long golf trip tonight and the wife said she hadn't touched it. I thought it would be a total waste. To my great surprise, there is plenty of acid, mid palate, soft grip and very long finish to the strawberry flavors. Still very enjoyable! Maybe this is a keeper! Wish I had another!

Lovely fruit-forward with vanilla oak and baking spices. Not particularly complex but a lovely lifted CA pinot
