WINE DESCRIPTION
Porter Creek Pinot Noir is a meticulously crafted wine from the Russian River Valley, sourced from steep, estate-grown vineyards that have been farmed using organic and biodynamic principles since 2003. Founded by George R. Davis in 1978, Porter Creek is now guided by second-generation winemaker Alex Davis, who brings a deep understanding of Burgundian practices to the estate. The Pinot Noir vines benefit from the vineyard’s cool, foggy climate, steep slopes, and diverse cover crops, which yield wines with depth and balance. Traditional winemaking methods, such as native yeast fermentation and minimal intervention, showcase the terroir's purity and elegance.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Porter Creek Pinot Noir exudes aromas of wild strawberry, blackberry, rose petals, and fresh forest floor, with hints of spice and vanilla.The palate is vibrant yet silky, offering a harmonious blend of red and dark fruit, savory undertones, and refreshing acidity. It pairs beautifully with roasted duck, mushroom risotto, or herb-crusted salmon. While enjoyable now, it has the potential to develop further with 8-10 years of cellaring, revealing additional layers of complexity and structure over time.
