Porter Creek
Old Vine Mendocino County Carignane
This is the model for the delicious California table wine of the present and the future. Old vines give decent concentration, yet very very light and lovely tannin. Mainly, it's a beautiful expression of purple and dark fruit with a heady perfume and an incredibly soft landing. Price is good. Probably low 20s retail. Competes with good Beaujolais.

Sep 6th, 2016Probably a little over the hill. Definitely some earthy, oxidative notes. Black fruit, black pepper, faint tannins. Maybe some dark chocolate. Medium bodied, short finish.
