WINE DESCRIPTION
In 1999, Penner-Ash began sourcing fruit with the goal of creating a distinctive Oregon Syrah. Over the years, they developed a signature style that balances structure and sweetness from the warmer southern Oregon vineyards with blue fruit notes, nice acidity, and freshness from Hood River sourcing. This Syrah is aged for 15 months in 45% new French oak, enhancing its complexity and depth. The result is a beautifully balanced wine that embodies the unique characteristics of Oregon's diverse terroir.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Penner-Ash Syrah displays aromas of dark plum, blackberry, and cracked pepper that are complemented by subtle notes of roasted coffee and licorice.On the palate, it's balanced and smooth, with a well-integrated tannin structure and a long, lingering finish. Enjoy this wine with a variety of dishes, from grilled vegetables to steak.

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.CUSTOMER RATING
