Penner-Ash Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2022
#19 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2025
This wine reflects the region’s distinct textures, flavors and terroir, with beautiful elegance and balance. Since the inaugural vintage in 1998, founding winemaker Lynn Penner-Ash has drawn upon longstanding relationships with grower neighbors and friends, to source fruit from the most distinguished vineyards. The 2022 vintage explores six sub-AVAs, culminating in a Pinot Noir emblematic of the Willamette Valley, and of the Penner-Ash winemaking style – a textural experience from start to finish.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is scented of red cherry, blackberry, forest floor and floral potpourri. The medium-bodied palate is silky and bright with concentrated, crunchy flavors and a long, spicy finish. This is dangerously easy to drink!

Aromas of blackberries, sarsaparilla, fresh plums and flowers. The palate is mid-weighted with firmly framed tannins and balanced acidity. Nicely constructed.
