La Crema Sauvignon Blanc

Tasting Notes and Characteristics:

The first sip of La Crema Sauvignon Blanc is like a burst of California sunshine, bright and invigorating, with zesty citrus and hints of tropical guava dancing across your palate. Crafted in the United States, this expressive white wine delivers a lively balance of crisp acidity and juicy fruit flavors, making it irresistibly refreshing. With an alcohol by volume of 13.50%, its vibrant character shines alongside tangy goat cheese or perfectly grilled shrimp, elevating every bite with notes of grapefruit zest and subtle minerality that linger long after the glass is empty.

Producer Information: Jackson Family Wines

Jackson Family Wines, founded in 1982 by Jess Jackson in Sonoma County, California, began with the now-iconic Kendall-Jackson Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay and quickly established a reputation for crafting wines that express the unique terroir of their vineyard sites. The family-owned company emphasizes sustainable farming practices and meticulous vineyard management across its diverse portfolio of estate vineyards spanning key winegrowing regions such as Napa Valley, Mendocino, Santa Barbara, Oregon’s Willamette Valley, and even international locations like Bordeaux and Chile. Their philosophy centers on site-specific winemaking that highlights regional character rather than mass production. Beyond their flagship Chardonnay, Jackson Family Wines produces acclaimed Pinot Noir from La Crema in the Russian River Valley and Anderson Valley as well as Cabernet Sauvignon from Stonestreet Estate in Alexander Valley. The group also owns Freemark Abbey in Napa for classic Bordeaux varietals and offers sparkling wines through brands like Capensis in South Africa’s Western Cape. While primarily focused on premium still wines across multiple American Viticultural Areas (AVAs), they have expanded into select spirits collaborations but remain best known for elevating California’s cool-climate varietals through a commitment to place-driven quality.
