los carneros 2019 Juicy. Opulent. Expressive. Our original name, La Crema Vinera, means “best of the vine,” setting the standard for all we do since 1979. Our family-owned and operated winery focuses exclusively “Aromas of JASMINE, lemon zest, and on cool-climate appellations. We’re continually exploring these very special regions— green apple are followed by avors of passionate in our belief that they make uniquely expressive and elegant wines. TANGERINE, lemon curd, and CRÈME BRÛLÉE. The 2019 vintage, presents a rich texture and concentrated nish.” A REMARKABLE PLACE Characterized by its cool climate, the Los Carneros AVA is moderated by maritime JENNIFER WALSH, WINEMAKER inuences from two distinct sources. One major source of inuence is the San Pablo Bay to the South and the other is the Pacic Ocean to the North West by way of the Petaluma Gap. Stretched across the southern reaches of Sonoma and Napa County this LOS CARNEROS CHARDONNAY growing region is known for producing world-class chardonnays. The fruit for this wine 2019 was primarily sourced from our Carneros Hill Vineyard close to the cooling breezes of the San Pablo Bay. The Los Carneros AVA vineyard sites chosen for this wine benet from a diverse selection of chardonnay plantings and well-draining Haire clay loam soils. Clones include Prosser, 4, 96, 48, and 131. It’s one of the world’s best cool-climate appellations. It’s a place for La Crema. EXCEPTIONAL GRAPES The 2019 growing season in the Los Carneros AVA was nearly ideal. Winter began with record rainfall in February, which replenished groundwater. In May, heavy rain came right around bloom, but it did not affect fruit set substantially. A long slow ripening during summer produced grapes with concentrated avors, aromas, and vibrant acidity. The harvest for the Los Carneros Chardonnay began on September 18th. THE STATS: Appellation: Los Carneros ARTISAN WINEMAKING Composition: 100% Chardonnay The grapes were gently whole-cluster pressed and the juice settled overnight before Type of Oak: 100% French oak; being racked to French Oak barrels. The juice was inoculated with a complementary 25% new yeast strain and fermented in barrel. Lees were stirred regularly to develop texture and the full lot underwent malolactic fermentation. The nished wine was aged for 10 Time in Barrel: 10 months months in barrel without racking. Alcohol: 14.5% T.A.: 0.52g / 100mL pH: 3.61 The essence of a distinct wine region in every sip – Los Carneros Chardonnay. lacrema.com 800.314.1762 © 2021 La Crema, Windsor, CA #LC21_4197.

If you drink no Noir, you Pinot Noir Volume 9, Issue 39 March 31, 2014 Adventures on the Pinot Trail: World of Pinot Noir - The Seminars On February 27, 2014, I hit the Pinot Trail to attend four major events in California. Like the song, “Sugartime,” from the 1950s sung by the McGuire Sisters, it was “Sugar (Pinot) in the morning, Sugar (Pinot) in the evening, Sugar (Pinot) at suppertime. Be my little sugar, And love me (Pinot) all the time.” The trail first led me to Santa Barbara for the 14th Annual World of Pinot Noir, then to San Francisco for three more memorable events: a special retrospective tasting of the wines of Ted Lemon titled “30 Years of Winemaking, 20 years of Littorai,” at Jardiniere restaurant on March 2, Affairs of the Vine Pinot Noir Summit at The Golden Gate Club on March 9, and the In Pursuit of Balance seminars and tasting at Bluxome Street Winery on March 10. I will give a full report on each stop along the Pinot Trail in this issue and those to follow, highlighting some of the special wines I tasted. Some have accused me of being a Pinot pimp and rightfully so. One of my readers told me when I asked him what he had been drinking, “As far as what I am drinking, it’s Pinot you bastard, and it’s your damn fault. Now I empty my bank account at wineries nobody has ever heard of, on wines nobody has ever drank except you, you pr**k. You have ruined me....and I love it.” The World of Pinot Noir successfully relocated this year from its long-standing home in Shell Beach to the Bacara Resort & Spa in Santa Barbara.

Bonanno 2019 Chardonnay, Los Carneros
BonAnno 2019 Chardonnay, Los Carneros About BonAnno Meaning “good year”, Bon Anno, the Italian saying heralds the celebration of good times, and is a fortuitous play on Vintner Matthew Bonanno’s last name With their first release in 2004, BonAnno wines are consistently fruit forward, juicy, ripe and luscious, offering tremendous value for the price – and Napa Valley name recognition BonAnno wines should have a place on your table every night- Salute! Vintage Northern California’s 2019 season was near picture-perfect and considered classic. Just the right amount of early heat in the spring to acclimate the grapes was followed by mild temperatures that continued throughout the season and offered superior flavor development. Late rains in May also benefited many growers. A steady string of warm weather carried through to September leading to long hang times, even ripening, and distinctive flavor development. Vineyards The 2019 BonAnno Chardonnay is sourced from the Los Carneros AVA located just north of the San Pablo Bay and includes parts of both Napa and Sonoma. The cool fog and breezes off the bay make the climate cooler and ideal area to grow Chardonnay. Winemaker Owner/Winemaker Matt Bonanno works closely with several vineyard managers throughout the Napa Valley to ensure the quality of his fruit and maximize the potential of each vintage. Winemaker Notes Medium straw in color and bursting with white flowers, apple blossom, and fresh peach on the nose. The palate is layered with ripe lemon, crisp green apple, and white peaches. The finish is clean yet long with the slightest hints of vanilla and fresh brioche.

A Story in Every Bottle
America’s ﬁrst Agricultural Preserve and Premier Wine Region A story in every bottle... PRESS KIT Legendary, Innovative, Quality Leader—Napa Valley Napa Valley is known for its extraordinary wines. As the first Agricultural Preserve in the US, it’s also a region of incomparable natural beauty and winegrowing heritage being preserved for future generations by its leadership in land and community stewardship. Though just 4% of California’s wine grape harvest, clearly Napa Valley is small in size yet BIG in stature. Consistently Extraordinary Wines Only 2% of the world enjoys a dry Mediterranean climate. In Napa Valley this generous cli- mate provides incomparable, quality-driven, vintage-to-vintage consistency that few other winegrowing regions can boast. Because of its unique geologic history, Napa Valley has a remarkable diversity of microclimates, weather and topography, as well as some of the most diverse soils found on earth; this allows a wide array of premium wine grapes to thrive. Small Place, Big Reputation In spite of its international renown, Napa Valley is one of the smallest winegrowing regions in the world, with only one-eighth the planted acreage of Bordeaux. Nearly all (95%) winer- ies are family owned businesses. Taking Care of Land and Community Long before green and sustainable were buzzwords, Napa Valley became the first Agricultural Preserve in the US in 1968, and today has the most comprehensive and stringent land use and environmental regulations of any winegrowing region. And, to ensure quality of life for all of the community, Napa Valley Vintners has given more than $110 million to lo- cal health, youth and housing non-profits through its annual fundraiser, Auction Napa Valley.

This wine awakens your palate with lively flavors of grapefruit and lemon rounded out by a bright acidity for which the Los Carneros AVA is known. The lingering finish leaves you coming back for more with its subtle notes of toasted hazelnut and vanilla. Vintage 2014 was an excellent vintage in the Los Carneros AVA. Overall the conditions were nearly ideal, with moderate temperatures and consistently dry, warm days allowing the grapes to achieve even ripening and full maturity. The vintage was high in quality and quantity, with harvest occurring on October 6th, 2014. Vineyards & Winemaking This is the first vintage of Roth Chardonnay sourced from Wobken Vineyard in the Los Carneros AVA. Los Carneros is located between Sonoma and Napa counties and runs along the base of Mayacamas mountains. It’s characterized by its cool climate from the nearby Pacific Ocean making the region well-suited for cool-climate varietals such as Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. The Chardonnay from this AVA is known for its good acidity and balance. After harvest, the grapes were whole-cluster pressed and transferred to tank where the wine was then fermented with native yeast and racked to French, Hungarian and American oak barrels. After 16 months in barrel (30% new) with regular lees stirring, the wine was bottled.

The dry conditions continued well into April with some early irrigation in the vineyards. A cooler May reduced fruit set and provided the first signs of a lighter crop for the vintage. The harvest brought in fruit at optimal flavor maturity before a series of heat waves hit the valley. Overall, the 2015 harvest is one of the earliest on record. All of the grapes for our Clone 667 wine were picked on August 21st. •VINEYARDS• A notoriously challenging and fragile variety, Pinot Noir finds an ideal location on the foggy, wind-swept slopes of the Carneros region, in southernmost Napa Valley. It is here that different clones of Pinot Noir were planted and reviewed, giving us the ability to chose our favorite, expressive clones, as with the Pinot Noir Dijon Clone 667. In this wine, we brought together select blocks from the Stanly Ranch Vineyard in Los Carneros AVA. The Stanly Ranch has played a significant part in modern viticulture history for Carneros, as it was used as a clonal trial site for Pinot Noir in the late 1950’s.
