Hess Collection Panthera Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2021

“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.” \n \n– Stephanie Pope, Winemaker \n \n95 POINTS - Wine Enthusiast, 2021 Vintage
