About Panther Creek Cellars |
| |
Panther Creek Cellars, located in McMinnville, Oregon, has been producing ultra-premium Pinot noir since 1986. Our wines are made from grapes grown at some of Oregon's finest vineyards. Our goal in making Panther Creek wine is simple. We want each wine to express the personality of its vintage and character of its vineyard as clearly as possible. We believe that this expressiveness is the essence of great Oregon Pinot noir.
Every Panther Creek wine is unique. We believe that Pinot noir is at its best when it is encouraged to develop characteristics particular to where and when it was grown. We work very hard to create a limited production of well made wines whose individual personalities are able to shine.
Gentle handling of the grapes at all phases of production is paramount in the crafting of great Pinot noir. From the time the clusters are hand harvested to the moment the finished wine is bottled, we strive to preserve the inherent character of each vineyard and vintage. Balance is a hallmark of world class Pinot noir and we want our wines to exhibit a complex concentration of flavors and aromas without sacrificing elegance and beauty.
Our wines are crafted to complement a variety of foods, as well as be enjoyed on their own. We believe that great Pinot noir can be enjoyed as a young, fresh wine that showcases ripe, sweet fruit, as well as an older, mature wine that features unparalleled complexity and beauty. |

ABOUT THE WINERYOur location is just as unique and interesting as our wines. Panther Creek is located in McMinnville's former power plant, just off the main street in downtown McMinnville, Oregon. Built in 1923, this enormous brick building housed three massive diesel electric generators and provided power to the city for decades. It became the home of Panther Creek in 1989. Our tasting room is located right inside the main winery production area. Our guests will find themselves tasting amongst our tanks and barrels.
We offer daily tasting of a selection of our current wines. All of our currently released wines are available for retail sale in our tasting room, and in our online store. Groups are always welcome.
The facility is also available to host smaller events in an intimate setting. |
