Panther Creek

Winemaker's Cuvée Pinot Noir 1995

Drinking quite well for a 30 year old from a media panned vintage. I should add that I’ve had a fair number of pleasurable experiences with aged 1995s. In fact, Domaine Serene’s 1995 from magnum last year was flat out great. Back in these days the Winemakers Cuvée was the entry level Panther Creek Pinot Noir. This one today is not at all tired by color, aroma, or taste. Blackberry fruit, firm fresh acidity, and resolved tannins. Has granular sediment poking three-fourths in that should be decanted off. My mistake but still enjoyable to the end. — 21 days ago

Winemaker's Blend California Zinfandel Blend 2013

I asked for a jammy red and that’s what this is !! Not super into these “commercialized” wines, but it does the job for easy drinking. Yum — 10 months ago

Aged definitely pays! Cherry still but mellowed with earthy notes and strong tannins still. Would likely be even better with a few more years in the bottle. Nice surprise from the library mystery case. — 4 years ago
