Same as 11/7/21. Really a superb Pinot at a great price, particularly considering this is Oregon which seems to me to be overpriced. Not a fruit or alcohol bomb, just hit the middle point, really nice. One of the closest west coast Pinots I have seen to being like a medium-bodied French red Burgundy. Highly recommend, but hard to find I am sure. Drink now status, don't see long-term aging.

Not a huge La Crema fan of their Sonoma County wines as both their Pinots and Chards are a little light and thin for my tastes. However...their latest venture now several years old is making wine from Willamette Valley, Oregon fruit and this wine was exceptional. 100% varietally correct, the acid and fruit were in perfect balance. Medium-bodied with notes of menthol and red berries, a tad note of licorice. Owned and made by Jackson Family wines of Kendall-Jackson fame. Highly recommend and at this price point, very high QPR (quality to price ratio). Drink now. Needs just a little breathing.
