Porter Creek Pinot Noir, Winegrower’s Reserve, Russian River Valley

Winegrower’s Reserve comes from special selections of Fiona Hill, Porter Creek’s flagship. This vineyard is on a steep, south facing vineyard on Westside Road. Hard clay topsoil with a fractured stone bedrock places continual stress on these Pinot vines, resulting in a very expressive, unique vineyard designated wine. Biodynamic farming, hand-harvesting and winemaking with native yeasts allow the finesse, nuance and prettiness of vineyard and varietal to shine through.
