2021 La Crema Monterey Chardonnay

92 Points Richard Caro
In stock
A beautifully elegant yet creamy Chardonnay from Monterey. This comparatively cool spot in California offers the slow ripening needed for class acts like La Crema to craft superb, nuanced Chard. Here the satisfaction of full Malolactic (buttery) fermentation and barrel aging is held in a nice kind of poise by subtle vibrancy and freshness, not to mention mineral, floral and tropical fruit touches. A rare delight and simply classy for the price.
$39.99 in mixed 6+ or $44.99 per bottle

Its Origins

La Crema in Russian River was established in 1979, long before Sonoma had gained an international reputation for cool climate varietals, Pinot noir and Chardonnay. In 1993 it came under the Jackson family banner, which meant a growth in market possibilities but also in access to top vineyards, infrastructure and talent. However the career of winemaker Elizabeth Grant-Douglas, rising over fourteen years from enologist to Director of Winemaking, illustrates La Crema’s ongoing independent focus, commitment to strict working methods and deep in-house terroir knowledge.
