Penner-Ash Pinot Noir 2018
Willamette Valley, Oregon, United StatesThe Willamette Valley, pinot cuvée sources fruit from 6 AVAs, thought of as a broad overview of the valley through the Penner-Ash / Jackson Family lens. The wide mix of clones, soils, and locations gives a broadly textured wine, further amplified by 10 months in French oak (23% new). Darkly fruited, with brooding plums, perfumed blackberries seasoned with thorns, tobacco, violets, and soft baking spices. Tannins are ample but supple, guiding this to a lingering spiced finish. Able to take on duck or richer pork dishes; drinking now.Tasted: 12 June 2021Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $58.99 | 750ml | select private retailers |
