2016 Porter Creek Hillside Vineyard - Old Vine Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

12.9% alc., $72. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Intoxicating aromas of Bing cherry, baking spice and red rose petal. A delicious infusion of dark cherry goodness with a hint of cola greets the palate. Impeccable harmony with very fine-grain tannins and a welcome nerve of acidity. Mid-weight in richness, endlessly gentle, with a refreshing finish that leaves you wanting more. The wine holds up beautifully over time in the glass predicting age-worthiness. Porter Creek is one of the most under-the-radar producers of ultra premium Pinot Noir in California. Score: 95. Reviewed August 27, 2020
