Robert Parker, Jr. described Panther Creek “as one of the most consistent, high quality Oregon wineries … producing some of Oregon’s most concentrated and age-worthy wines.”
Founded by Ken Wright, the wines are now made by Tony Rynders. With a goal to capture the essence of Oregon Pinot that can be enjoyed as a young, fresh wine, Tony showcases ripe, sweet fruit, as well as older, mature wines that features unparalleled complexity and beauty.
Tasting notes: The nose of this refined Pinot Noir features strawberries, black cherry and chocolate, with a hint of raspberry. The palate has notes of black currant, coffee, and a hint of tobacco that’s rounded out by soft tannins and a balanced finish.
Aging: 39% new French oak, 8 months
Only 145 cases produced
Reviews
Here is a powerful mix of tart berry and pungent herb, that punches through with authority. It picks up fresh blackberry fruit and a lick of licorice as it powers through to a polished and persistent finish. ~91 WE
