The power of these wines comes from the adept control and balance of fruit, acid, oak, and time. Panthera wines are inspired by the subtleties in strength — captured through the bright acidity created by the cool climate of the Sonoma Coast and coaxed into powerful flavors by the winemaker at the blending table.
Panthera Pinot Noir showcases dynamic tension in winestyle as this wine displays both a vibrant purity of fruit and a refined oak profile. Expansive and silky on the palate, notes of red plum, raspberry compote and Bing cherry work in harmony with elegant tannins, supported by a signature backbone of acidity nurtured on the Sonoma Coast. The deft
baseline of toasted oak introduces hints of clove and baking spice to round out the perfectly balanced, lingering finish.
94 Wine Enthusiast Decadent aromas of roasted cherry, cranberry and cocoa powder waft from the glass on the nose of this Pinot. The palate shows a nimble personality with berry fruit, lemon peel acidity and some lovely floral flavors that elevate the aromatics and dominate the finish.
93 James Suckling A vivid, energetic wine that's alive with fresh cherries and berries on a moderately tannic texture. Crisp acidity lifts red cherry, raspberry, black tea and cinnamon flavors that have freshness and a linear feel. Full-bodied, very well balanced and appetizing. Drink or hold.
