La Crema was founded in 1979 and quickly established itself as a pioneer for intensely flavored Chardonnay and Pinot Noir from cool climate, like the La Crema Russian River Valley Chardonnay
Russian River Valley vineyards are situated in western Sonoma County. The Russian River is home to La Crema Winery, and is considered the benchmark of La Crema's style.
A distinctive characteristic of this region is the cold climate. Early evening fog rushes up the Russian River and over the coastal mountains to make this region one of the coolest premium wine regions in the state. These moderating conditions are ideal for cultivating naturally bright acidity and complex flavors in La Crema Russian River Valley Chardonnay
