Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Aromas of black cherry, dried blueberries and violets. Structured and dense in the palate with a core of sweet black cherry and bittersweet chocolate. Extended finish of cassis and vanilla.

"The 2006 Pinot Noir Seven Springs Vineyard is dark ruby-colored with a nose offering violets, black cherry, and black raspberry. Dense (perhaps due to the whole clusters used in this cuvee but none of the others), with notes of black cherry preserves and cassis, this layered effort is intense and lengthy. Give it 2-3 years and drink it from 2011 to 2020. Penner-Ash's 2006 Pinot Noirs are uniformly top-notch, not a surprise given this husband-wife team's track record. Not to be over-looked, Penner-Ash also produces excellent Riesling, Viognier, and Syrah."

Penner-Ash Lynn Penner-Ash, Winemaker Winery Image
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.

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”

Willamette Valley, Oregon

Running north to south, adjacent to the Willamette River, the Eola-Amity Hills AVA has shallow and well-drained soils created from ancient lava flows (called Jory), marine sediments, rocks and alluvial deposits. These soils force vine roots to dig deep, producing small grapes with great concentration.

Like in the McMinnville sub-AVA, cold Pacific air streams in via the Van Duzer Corridor and assists the maintenance of higher acidity in its grapes. This great concentration, combined with marked acidity, give the Eola-Amity Hills wines—namely Pinot noir—their distinct character. While the region covers 40,000 acres, no more than 1,400 acres are covered in vine.
