Panther Creek 2014 Lazy River Vineyard Pinot Noir

Country: US / Lazy River Vineyard
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Panther Creek / Willamette Valley

Much riper than the previous vintage, this retains those complex aromatics, with cocoa powder, rose petals and chocolate highlights around ripe raspberry and cherry fruit. It is a graceful, precise and delicious wine, buttressed with fresh non-chalky acidity, baking spices and a hint of ginger. The long outstanding finish suggests tucking a few bottles away for enjoyment over the next decade.
