Wine Information:
Panthera:
Classified as the genus Panthera, the fiercest cat in the jungle uniquely identified by midnight black fur. We will defend and represent our Carolina family with pride, power, and authenticity. There is no one like us – we fight with ferocity and a fearless roar.
We introduce you to Panthera. This Pinot Noir has aromas of cherries, raspberries, blackberries, and brown sugar with notes of baking spices. On the palate, the wine opens with bright, fruit flavors of strawberries, leading to a round mouthfeel on the mid-palate and soft, velvety tannins on a long, elegant finish.
Coastal:
With over 500 miles of coastline, the Carolinas are lined with the perfect beaches to cool off on a hot, sunny day. Relax and watch the waves crash as the sun rises, go for a swim in the clear water, or enjoy the sweet sound of home. Engulf yourself in the coastal culture, it is good for the soul. We’d swim the entirety of the coastline to defend Carolina. One team, two states, one motive – to win.
We introduce you to Coastal. This Chardonnay is a real gem. Hailing from the cool and foggy climate of the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County, this beautiful medium-bodied wine was grown slowly to build intense flavors over time. This wine was aged in French oak and displays a beautiful balance of fruit, oak and liveliness on the palate and exhibits lush mango and toasted almond. Balanced fruit with tarte acidity makes this wine a classic example of Premium Russian River Chardonnay.
Blue Ridge:
This red blend signifies two states melded together to form one team. Representing the mountainous region of the Blue Ridge Mountains that connect both North and South Carolina, its beauty is unparalleled as it winds through the state lines we call home. Together we climb mountains, together we are Carolina.
We introduce you to Blue Ridge. The 2019 Red Wine is an artful red blend created by winemaker Todd Heth. This wine exhibits dark blackberry, bing cherry, and plum notes perfectly into layers of coffee and tobacco. The finish is dry with long-lasting berry fruit. Silky but firm tannins, this wine is enjoyable now but has the ability to age well in the cellar.
Sweet Caroline:
Victory means celebration, so it is fitting that our champenoise is named for the sweet taste of victory. This feeling of euphoria unites players and fans around a common goal – to win for Carolina.
We introduce you to Sweet Caroline. This premium sparkling wine – meticulously and artfully made in the traditional champagne method – rivals anything found from the best Champagne houses in Épernay and Reims. Blended superbly from 100% Chardonnay, this magnificent Napa Valley Blanc de Blancs exhibits beautiful green apple and tropical notes in the aroma follow through in the mouth with a smooth fine mousse. This wine finishes with refreshing, lingering light tropical flavors that beg for another sip.
Night Hunter:
When night falls, we are elusive in the darkness. We are fierce and calculated in our movements, a sophisticated motion on display. Always ready to pounce to hunt and defend on our own. Sleep with one eye open.
We introduce you to Night Hunter. This flagship Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic representation of the appellation’s preeminent varietal. Notes of black cherry, blackberry and plum are complemented by hits of toasted oak, dried currant and baking spice. Fine-grained tannins and ample brightness on the palate give way to a polished mouthfeel and exceptionally long finish.
ROAR:
An unmistakable, terrifying threat, the ferocious roar of a panther warns our opponents that they are in our territory. Two states uniting one team. We are the Carolina Panthers, and we will protect what is ours. Hear us roar.
We introduce you to ROAR. Our 2021 Rosé of Cabernet Sauvignon. The watermelon and strawberry notes burst out of the glass. When served cool on a warm day, the juicy acidity of the 2021 Rosé makes for a very refreshing and versatile wine, perfect to share on any occasion. Look for the hidden imagery in the rose petals.
