Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Savory notes of sweet earth mixed with rich cherry greet your nose, as summer ripened blueberry layered with hints of dark brown sugar pull you into the palette, where dried Mediterranean herbs and red dirt, slowly meld into the underlying fine tannins accented by classic notes of blackberry and cassis.

    Aromas of tar and asphalt with strawberry and cherry character. Smokey. Full-bodied, chewy and polished with beautiful tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Complex. Drink or hold.

    The 2014 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard, which contains a little whole cluster bunches, has fine lift on the nose; in my mind, this a step up from other vineyards with hints of menthol infusing the vivid red berry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip in the mouth, tea leaves and bay leaf infusing the black berries and bilberries, adorned with a subtle marine-influenced finish coming through on the satisfying finish. Maybe the pick from Penner-Ash this year - the Shea Vineyard showing its pedigree here.

    In this much-celebrated well-ripened vintage, the Shea designate has a pleasingly soft entry. The lush persistent flavors of black cherry and blackberry fruit are streaked with vanilla, tobacco and cola highlights. Drink now and over the next four to five years.

Penner-Ash, Oregon
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.”

Yamhill-Carlton, characterized by pastoral, rolling hills composed of shallow, quick-draining, ancient marine soil, is ideal for Pinot noir and other cool-climate-loving varieties. It is in the rain shadow of the Coast Range to its west, whose highest point climbs to an altitude of 3,500 feet. Yamhill-Carlton is actually surrounded by mountains on three sides: Chehalem Mountains to the north, the Dundee Hills to the east and the western Coast Range to its west, which, when it lets Pacific air through, serves to cool the region.

Vineyards grow on the ridges surrounding the two small communities of Yamhill and Carlton and cover about 1,200 acres of this 60,000 acre region, which roughly makes a horse-shoe shape on a map.
