Winery Notes:
This wine reflects the region’s distinct textures, flavors and terroir, with beautiful elegance and balance. Since the inaugural vintage in 1998, founding winemaker Lynn Penner-Ash has drawn upon longstanding relationships with grower neighbors and friends, to source fruit from the most distinguished vineyards. The 2022 vintage explores six sub-AVAs, culminating in a Pinot Noir emblematic of the Willamette Valley, and of the Penner-Ash winemaking style – a textural experience from start to finish.

Aromas of blackberries, sarsaparilla, fresh plums and flowers. The palate is mid-weighted with firmly framed tannins and balanced acidity. Nicely constructed. Drink or hold.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley wafts up with a fruit-forward blend of crushed raspberries, blueberries and autumnal spice. Soothingly round and pliant, it offers balanced inner sweetness as a juicy wave of wild berries and a nuance of clove wash across the palate. The finish is medium in length, with a gentle saturation of fine tannins yet remains fresh.
