Panthera Pinot Noir is a masterclass in dynamic tension the vibrant purity of Sonoma Coast fruit meets a confident oak profile. Expansive notes of red plum and Bing cherry work in harmony with elegant tannins and a signature backbone of acidity.

FROM THE CELLAR

Panthera Pinot Noir showcases dynamic tension in winestyle as this wine displays both a vibrant purity of fruit and a refined oak profile. Expansive and silky on the palate, notes of red plum, raspberry compote and Big cherry work in harmony with elegant tannins, supported by a signature backbone of acidity nurtured on the Sonoma Coast. The deft baseline of toasted oak introduces hints of clove and baking spice to round out the perfectly balanced, lingering finish.
