This was wonderful. I converted to Porter Creek after a wonderful visit to the winery in the Fall (also with Jonathan as another reviewer mentioned). This carignane was one of my least favorite of the tasting, but that should only underscore how good their other wines are. This has a great balance of fruit and tannin. I don't have much experience with the aging curve of carignane, but this seems like it can keep going.

2015 Whitcraft Winery Pinot Noir Presqu'ile Vineyard

This had excellent fruit! Very red-berried. This gained weight as it opened. Really easy drinking and delicious. No complaints. No rush.

Still alive and kicking. Way too drinkable. Meant to pace this, but basically couldn't put it down.
