La Crema, Sonoma Coast (Sonoma County, California) Pinot Noir 2014

($25): La Crema’s Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir emphasizes the red cherry fruit nature of the variety.  To their credit, the fruit flavors are fresh, not jammy, and not overdone.  A whiff of savory notes appears in the background.  Appealing tart cherry notes are apparent in the finish in keeping with the wine’s fruity profile.  All in all, a well-priced Pinot Noir.
