The most popular California Chardonnay on The Wine Spectator's Best Restaurant Wine List, the La Crema Sonoma Coast is an all-time favorite under $20! A family-owned estate in the Russian River Valley with some amazing pedigree, La Crema was founded in 1979 by sisters Laura Jackson-Giron and Jennifer Jackson, two daughters of the legendary wine mogul Jess Jackson. Several winemakers developed the La Crema style through the years, including Dan Goldfield (Dutton-Goldfield) and Jeff Stewart (Buena Vista). Current winemaker Craig McAllister continues that Burgundian tradition of crafting elegant wines that pair with foods. The 2021 is classic La Crema with hallmark aromas of green apple, butter and toasted oak. Don't miss the #1 restaurant pour on the planet for a much lower price!
"Hints of almonds and savory herbs in the aroma accompany Bosc pears and vanilla on the palate as this handsome, toasty wine balances fruitiness and an oak-aged spiciness for a complex and complete expression. Best through 2028. Editor's Choice." Wine Enthusiast, 92 Points
"Ripe and generous, the 2021 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast pours a shimmery golden hue and delivers honeysuckle, candied lemon, and ripe green apple aromas. This rounded, full-bodied white is approachable with ripe melon, frangipane, and baking spice. It offers a good balance between richness and freshness and is perfect for youthful drinking. A lot of wine for the price, the consistency La Crema achieves at this scale is genuinely impressive." Jeb Dunnuck, 90 Points
