Porter Creek Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley

Porter CreekPinot Noir
Written By Ellen Grantz

As with every wine Porter Creek makes, the Estate Pinot Noir reflects its amazing hillside vineyards, pristine farming and classic winemaking approach. The wine comes from selections of the Fiona Hill and other estate vineyards, and is crafted to be more approachable in its youth than the longer‐aged Fiona Hill Pinot Noir. Soft tannins and brooding dark fruit make it restaurant friendly upon release. Roughly 200 cases produced.
