($25):  La Crema sources the grapes for this Pinot Noir from the potentially better-suited vineyards on the Sonoma Coast.  Compared to their Monterey bottling, the sweetness in this one is replaced by bright, ripe red fruit notes mixed with alluring herbal and leafy flavors.  Similar to their Monterey bottling, suave tannins allow you to enjoy it now.  For those who think far ahead, it would be an excellent choice for turkey.
