Panther Rock Wine Co releases new organic value red wine on Earth Day

Wine Company continues to make green wine affordable

Press Release—CottonWood Creek Cellars, the value wine brand made with certified organic grapes, released for Earth Day 2011 a new red wine. Produced by Panther Rock Wine Company, this second release, a red table wine from California, is made with 100 percent certified organic grapes and retails at the nationally suggested retail price of $6.99. CottonWood Creek Cellars released an organic white wine on Earth Day last year.

CottonWood Creek Cellars has a keen environmental and green focus from the vineyard to the wine to the packaging, featuring:

• Wine made with CCOF Certified Organic Grapes
• Eco Lightweight Wine Bottles from St. Gobain (reduces carbon footprint)
• Natural Recyclable Cork
• Recycled Paper Wine Labels
• Soy Ink Printing on All Packaging
• Non-bleached, Kraft Natural Case Shippers

“Following the success of the organic white wine we released one year ago, we are pleased to release the second wine from CottonWood Creek Cellars, a 2010 red table wine made from organic grapes,” said Joey Franzia of Panther Rock Wine Company, “There is high consumer demand for red wine. So, we have worked hard to produce the lowest priced certified organic wines available. As a company we are proud of the quality of our wines which over deliver for the price.”

Winemaker John Allbaugh said, “This is a classic red wine with a dark ruby color. Fresh fruit is present with hints of berries. Silky tannins are accompanied by a sweet, subtle amount of toasted oak. The nuanced flavors of this wine never stop, not even after the long, luscious finish.”

Just as Earth Day was established in 1970 to inspire awareness and appreciation for the earth’s environment, CottonWood Creek Cellars makes environmentally-friendly wines created to compliment the earth’s bounty.
