Description
The Zena Crown Vineyard receives a healthy dose of cooling breezes every morning and afternoon thanks to its proximity to the Van Duzer Corridor. These highly prized grapes respond by developing thicker skins, giving wines with deeper than expected color, flavor, and intensity for Willamette Pinot Noir. Penner-Ash chooses from select vineyard blocks to create this stunning wine with flavors of wild blackberries, raspberries, dark cherries, mushrooms and earth framed by gentle touches of oak and spice. It's a moody and mysterious wine much like the vineyard in which it's grown.
Chocolate covered raspberry, floral notes, and spiced brown sugar with hunts of tobacco and berry pie mix with the peppery spice of whole cluster fermentation to create a lively aroma. An initial sweetness is quickly followed by an elegant fine gran tannin structure with a savory rounded finish.
