Panther Creek Willamette Valley Winemaker's Cuvée Pinot Noir
Pinot Noir
This wine presents a harmonious blend of flavors, including blackberry, cherry, and subtle notes of cola and vanilla. Its rich, velvety entry is balanced by soft tannins and well-integrated acidity, leading to a long, satisfying finish. Our Winemaker's Cuvée is a carefully crafted blend of Pinot Noir sourced from select vineyards in the Willamette Valley. These vineyards are chosen for their ability to produce grapes with richness, complexity, and structure, resulting in a wine that is enjoyable in its youth but also rewards aging.
Lively, citrus-laden acidity shines a spotlight on bright red raspberry, anise and white tea flavors. The wine's aromas of red cherries, rose petals and blood orange fill the air. While the tannins are on the velvety side, that acidity steals the show. Enjoy with a sunny weekend and pulled pork sliders. — Michael Alberty
