01 Mar La Crema Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2014
Did you hear that explosion? It came from Oregon wine country.
And the hits just keep on comin’.
In 1970, there were 5 legit wineries in Oregon. Now, there are over 700 with more on the way.
Californians have contributed to the rapid growth by coming north and staking a claim.
But no need to go down to Ashland and build a wall. Some of the influx from the south has been positive.
Take La Crema. The California-based mega-producer bought vineyards in Dundee a couple of years ago.
Now, they’re producing a very tasty take on pinot noir. Full-flavored and super smooth,
2014 La Crema Willamette Valley is high-quality Oregon pinot at a good price. That is a rare combination.
Heads up! La Crema makes several pinots. Make sure you see “Willamette Valley” on the label.
