La Crema
The original name, La Crema Viñera, means “best of the vine,” setting the standard for this winery since 1979. From their home in the Russian River Valley, the best cool-climate growing regions in California are explored through the lens of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Here, the ocean winds and fog allow grapes to ripen slowly on the vine, developing complex flavors and aromas. Winemakers Craig McAllister and Jen Walsh utilize boutique, time-intensive techniques to craft distinctively balanced and elegant wines.

Remarkable Places. Exceptional Grapes. Artisan Winemaking.
What do winemakers do when they can source from a potpourri of amazing vineyards across the coast of California? They blend them together to create one of the most beloved Pinot Noirs in the United States. From craggy coastlines to grassy pastures, redwood forests to quiet valleys, the Sonoma Coast is stunningly beautiful, and perhaps not coincidentally, ideal for winemaking. It’s no surprise this majestic region is the source of this bold, graceful and layered wine. Each bottle of La Crema’s flagship Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir is concentrated in flavor, and smooth until the very last drop.
