La Crema is a pioneer in cool-climate artisan winemaking. From our home in the Russian River Valley, we have explored California's finest coastal growing regions to uncover vineyards where cooling coastal wind and fog allow the grapes to ripen slowly on the vine, developing intensely complex aromas and flavors.
