| TASTING NOTE: This wine is named for the crested porcupine, a pointedly cute critter that inhabits the winery's farmlands. The wine itself is quite complex, showing spice box, earth, dark cherry, currants and plum. Pour it with steak and mushrooms, or roasted bell peppers stuffed with ground beef, beans and rice.
