Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Pale to medium ruby-garnet in color, the 2008 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley has a lovely nose of chocolate-covered cherries and warm blackberries with a spicy core of dried violets, potpourri, leather and warm earth. Light to medium-bodied, it fills the mouth with dark fruits and spices plus a wonderful streak of dried floral perfume. It offers a strong frame of grainy tannins and wonderful freshness to lift the long, layered finish. This is drinking beautifully right now.

Wine Spectator
Firm in texture, but lively, offering a cherry glow to the flavor profile against crisp tannins. Finishes with impressive persistence. Best from 2012 through 2016. 4,500 cases made.

Penner-Ash Wine Cellars embodies the spirit and passion of small producers focusing on Pinot Noir in the northern Willamette Valley, Oregon. After working for some of Napa's premier wineries and Rex Hill Vineyards in Oregon, winemaker Lynn Penner-Ash and her husband, Ron, started Penner-Ash Wine Cellars in 1998. In the winery, the focus is on small-lot indigenous yeast fermentation with extended cold soaks to extract a rich, fruit-focused, textured mouth feel. Each lot is treated individually and depending on the outcome, either blended into their reserve quality Willamette Valley Pinot Noir or bottled separately as a vineyard designate.
