Twas the night before Valentine's Day, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even my spouse. There was me in my Chef's hat, with flour on my nose, and it was home-made Lasagna I sought to compose. And, boy was it good, and so was the La Crema Pinot Noir we had to go along with it!
This a light and delicate Pinot Noir, but it stands up well to Italian pasta. It has the scent of cherries and ripe plum, along with the taste of cherries and a little strawberry, attached to a background of raspberry. Even though the wine is light, the finish is strong, with a lingering on the palate which begs for another sip. The alcohol content is 13.5%, and Norm's score is 90.
