Penner-Ash
Zena Crown Vineyard Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir
Eola - Amity Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
Closing the night with Penner-Ash. Had this upon its release at the winery. It shows nice evolution...rounder, elegant with softer spice.
The body is ruby, ripe & full. The wine is brooding on the nose & palate. It’s a well extracted, sweeter version of burgundy. Ripe, ruby; dark cassis, blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, black raspberries, poached strawberries & hints of floral blueberries & raspberries. The spice is dark with a little heat, soft; clove, nutmeg & vanilla, mixed dark berry cola, black licorice, river stones, limestone, some crushed rocks, moist clay, dark, moist, turned earth, some fresh herbs & eucalyptus, pine tree sap, dark, melted chocolate with fresh & slightly candied; dark, red, blue flowers set in violets. The acidity is round and like a cool shower on a warm day. The long finish is ruby, ripe, well balanced, polished that falls into dark spices on the persistent long set.
Thanksgiving dinner part II.

On the nose, dark perfume fresh floral and mixed berries preserves. This is the more perfumed floral and elegant vs. the previous wines. This one dances on the palate and invites you to slow down and fully appreciate it. It's so lush, ripe and beautiful. Ripe, juicy to slightly dry blackberries, dark cherries, black plum, dark raspberries preserves, more warm spice and more pronounced baking spices, fresh violets, roses and near lavender florals, dark semi-sweet black moist earth/minerals, nice chalk and the acidity is perfect. The finish is round, long, lush & elegant. You'll want to drink this right away and all night long.
