Quick, and without cheating on your smartphone, name three interesting facts about Panther Creek Cellars, the venerable Willamette Valley brand with the cool black and red labels, and a new tasting room that opened in last year in Dundee.
Panther Creek Cellars was founded in downtown McMinnville, but it now welcomes visitors daily at their tasting room on Highway 99W in Dundee, Oregon. Consulting winemaker Tony Rynders crafted this soft and elegant Pinot Gris from grapes grown at Olsen, Kraemer and Wildwood Vineyards. Look for aromas and flavors of apple, melon and Meyer lemon with hints of vanilla.
Bacchus Capital Management has appointed Christopher Pappe as president of Panther Creek Cellars of Dundee, as chief operating officer of Madrigal Family Winery of Calistoga, and as senior advisor at Bacchus Capital Management, which is based in San Francisco.
Talented winemakers are able to use just the right amount of exquisite French oak to lightly support Chardonnay flavors.
The 2013 vineyard-designate Pinot Noirs from Carter ($65), Kalita ($50) and Schindler ($50) as well as the 2013 French Creek Vineyard Chardonnay ($45) from Washington’s Yakima Valley serve as examples of the direction Bacchus is headed — a path toward national distribution and an annual production of 10,000 cases with Rynders at the wheel.
