WINE DESCRIPTION

Penner-Ash Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir is produced by Penner-Ash Wine Cellars, in Oregon's Willamette Valley. The wine is made exclusively from grapes grown in the Shea Vineyard, located in the Yamhill-Carlton subregion, known for its ideal growing conditions for Pinot Noir. The winemaking process involves careful selection of the best grapes, gentle handling, and aging in French oak barrels to capture the purity of the wine's fruit whilst adding complexity and depth. The resulting wine is a beautiful expression of the Shea Vineyard terroir, with aromas of dark fruit, spice, and earthy notes. The wine is elegant, balanced, and has a long finish, making it a perfect choice for any special occasion.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Penner-Ash Shea Vineyard Pinot Noir is a stunning, balanced, and full-bodied expression of the grape.On the nose, aromas of black cherry, blackberry, and turned earth lead to a palate of dark fruit, baking spices, and earthy notes. The complexity of the flavors is complemented by firm tannins that help balance the ripe fruit expression. An excellent choice for those seeking a classic Oregon Pinot Noir. Drink now or mature for up to 12 years.

ORIGINS

Winery: Penner-Ash

Region: Oregon

Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry. Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.
