Pale, edging toward ruddy ruby. Stinky, garden earth nose. Still lively red fruit behind. Softly structured now so a good fit to salmon sushi.

It is Friday night again and I have picked up just recently this 2014 Panther Creek Wimemakers Cuveé from the Willamette Valley that I wanted to try.

On the nose there is cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, vanilla, smokey oak, spice, black olive, violet and earth.

The nose reveals notes of dark cherry, raspberry, strawberry, clove, cola, vanilla, wet leaves, spice, forest floor and earth.

This wine is medium body with medium + acidity and medium sandy tannins that lead to a medium to long earthy fruit finish. A serviceable wine that would go nice with many different dishes. Let's start this weekend off right and make this a great one. Please stay safe and enjoy yourselves. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

HEAVY DUTY reduction. There's a great wine in there. Will keep trying. Day 2 still undrinkable.

Beautiful nose. Kind of oily on the palate. Effortless, freely flowing texture. Rubbery and petroleum come through. A little berry fruit.

It is a Willamette Pinot. Sour red fruit. Cola. Subtle earth. It's great for an introduction to Willamette Pinot.

A tad sweet, but otherwise nicely balanced.

Amazing for re price I paid, about $7. A bit toasted, oak dominated but distinct OR acidity and spine. Great everyday PN at this price.
