Panther Creek 2018 Pinot Noir Maverick Vineyard Yamhill-Carlton

"Our Maverick Vineyard Pinot Noir showcases bright red fruit with pleasant aromas of strawberry and tart cherry, with a hint of blackberry on the nose. Dark chocolate swirls on the palate, grounded by a touch of black pepper and a subtle earthiness on the finish."

"Young vines already showing great power bring bold, pungently savory flavors front and center. The palate is flush with juicy blackberry fruit and packs a punch right on through the finish. It resonates with peppery herb and stiff black tea tannins. Aged in one-third new barrels, this has the sort of Pinot power that can stand up to smoked and grilled meats. " Wine Enthusiast 92 Points
