Beautiful Pinot after 17 years — 2 months ago
The dark-fruited ripe side of Shea. — 5 months ago
The 2021 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is spicy with a bouquet of crushed woodland berries and flowery underbrush complicated by shaved cedar. It’s soothingly round and energetic, with cool-toned acidity and fresh red and blue fruits that swirl throughout. It leaves a subtle tinge of licorice and blackberry, only gently tannic, along with a hint of citrus that adds lovely depth. This is a perfect introduction to the Penner-Ash style.

Pop and pour a glass (decanted remaining for sediment). An arresting medium tawny color. On the nose: delicate perfumed nose of red fruit, funky barnyard, herbaceous, wet soil, worn leather. Taste: a smooth, slightly creamy, silky wine with dried red plum/prunes, earth, baking spice, old leather, cigar ash, and dried herbs with a quick medium finish. What a treat to try this 75 year old 5th growth that is still just hanging on for dear life! WOW! — 3 months ago
A perfect pairing for food with balanced acidity and flavors of cranberry, currant, and vanilla. — 5 months ago

2021 vintage. A bit light in terms of concentration. I know this producer is usually a soft touch but there wasn’t any touch to speak of. 01.09.25. — 22 days ago
