COMMENTARY: From the beginning—the winery was established in 1986—Panther Creek Cellars quickly established itself as a top-level wine producer. They took Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir to another level. The 2015 Pinot Gris delivers a beautiful wine under the $20.00 price range. TASTING NOTES: This wine offers an excellent combination of ripe core and stone fruit aromas and flavors. Its richness and crisp finish pairs it perfectly with lightly grilled petrale sole. (Tasted: March 1, 2018, San Francisco, CA)

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2015 Pinot Gris offers up baked apple, lemon marmalade and dried apricot notes with a touch of honeysuckle. The dry, medium-bodied palate has a pleasant honeyed toast character with a lively backbone and good length.

Located in the heart of the Willamette Valley, Panther Creek Cellars has been producing signature Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay wines since 1986. The winery has been recognized for its signature blends as well as single vineyard designate wines.
“Panther Creek has a storied history and I’m eager to build on that legacy,” says Tony Rynders, winemaker. “I have been making wine in Oregon for almost 20 years, and I look forward to beginning this chapter with one of Oregon’s most established Pinot Noir producers, founded by one of the wine industry’s great heroes, Ken Wright.”
Our goal, in making Panther Creek wine, is simple: We hope that each wine will express the personality of its vintage and character of its vineyard. This expressiveness is the essence of great Oregon Pinot Noir. Our wines are crafted to complement a variety of foods, as well as be enjoyed on their own. We believe that great Pinot Noir can be enjoyed as a young, fresh wine that showcases ripe, sweet fruit, as well as an older, mature wine that features unparalleled complexity and beauty.
