FAT & JUICY. Explosive aromas of cherry & berry jam
segue to ripe, fat flavors of juicy plum, blackberry preserves & subtle
pepper spice. Big fruits dominate the palate, which is rich & textured on
the finish & harmoniously balanced.
90% Zinfandel, 10% Carignane
If you suspect that well made organic wines might taste better
than others, and that well made organic wines grown on sloping hillsides might
be even better, Porter Creek is the place for you. George Davis has more than a
suspicion that all of the above is true.
In 1977 he bought 40 acres of prime land in the Russian River Valley. Under his guidance, organic certification was
earned for the vineyards and they now apply biodynamic practices, as well. George's
son Alex took over as winemaker in 1997, but not until he had completed
extensive training with the likes of Marcel Guigal in the Rhone and Chistophe
Roumier & Bernard Michelot in Burgundy, ensuring that the quality
reputation of this fantastic winery is in good hands.
