Archetypal Russian River style: slightly smoky nose (not smoke taint!), sumptuous, with dark fruits, some spice, quite elegant. It is not inexpensive however.

A zinfandel one day a pinot noir the next as the drinking Porter Creek project continues. This is drinking very nicely right now. A pleasant clear ruby red, fairly muted on the nose, palate coating with ripe dark cherry fruit, mild acidity, minimal tannins, decent length.

folks are being too harsh on this one. This is a beauty of an RRV PN. a little funk on the nose but delicious red & blue fruit on the palate. drinking well now but should easily hold for many years

Not quite as good as the last bottle. Spicy and peppery with red fruit. Some heat on the back end
