LUSCIOUS ARE LIFES CHERRIES
Wine: La Crema 2006 Pinot Noir, Sonoma Coast
Alcohol Content: 13.9%
Price: $20
Pair With: Veal, schnitzel or Coq au vin
Risqué relishes “la crèma de la vida” (the cream of life)—the finer things—all that is delightful and delicious, luscious and
languid, sensuous and sublime. That is exactly what this 100% Pinot Noir, aged
in 100% toasted French Oak, delivers.
This glittering dark raspberry liquid is perfumed with
mouthwatering dark ripe cherries, dark cocoa, spicy clove and delicious
licorice. The mouth is filled with more luxurious summer cherries, ripe wild briar
fruits, English toffee, pekoe tea and slivers of orange zest tempered with
earthy woody notes. A sensuous, plump mouth feel is supported with silky
tannins and balanced acidy, all mellowing into a lovely, soft, fruit-strewn
finish.
Succumb to “La Crema” and saturate your yearnings with what Risqué desires… “la crèma de la vida."
