A reflection from Founding Winemaker, Lynn Penner-Ash
The Beginning
The discovery of unanticipated soil diversity on the Estate property by an early geologist's survey provided further excitement for the potential of this special site.
After breaking ground in 2003, the winery was barely completed when the Kick Ash Crew used the facility to process our first vintage on site in 2005.
a new partnership
In 2016, the winery joined the Jackson Family Wines portfolio, embarking on a new partnership based on shared love for the land and uncompromising wine quality. Penner-Ash continues to source from premier vineyards across the Willamette Valley sub-AVAs, grounded in decades-long relationships with grower neighbors and friends.
