La Crema Monterey Pinot Noir Rosé 2018 Review
Ripe and juicy with notes of strawberry and herby cannabis. There are slight hints of lemon peel and lime oil, along with some coconut and mint. These are not, however, carried over to the palate, which has a bitter note that hides most aromatics. It is a fine bottle for a wine table at parties.
