VINDULGE FAVORITE WINES OF THE WEEK
A few awesome Pinot Noirs…
PANTHER CREEK PINOT NOIR, FIR CREST VINEYARD, 2013 (YAMHILL-CARLTON, OR)
This is another Pinot that hit the spot this week. This one comes from a LIVE Certified 12-acre vineyard located in the foothills of the North Coast Range in the Yamhill Carlton AVA. Full of red berries (dark cherries and raspberries) along with some pretty floral aromas, turning just rich enough in the mouth with some spice, medium tannins, and nice structure. Great balance between the rich fruit, tannins, and spice. Another great contender for lamb. And now I’m craving smoked lamb! 13.1% abv | $45 (received as a gift)
