Wine Description

Penner-Ash Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2021 is the result of years of experience from acclaimed winemaker Kate Ayres and her team. Drawing upon longstanding relationships with growers, this vintage has sourced fruit from six distinguished sub-AVAs of the Willamette Valley. Grapes were hand-selected for optimum ripeness and quality.

This vintage offers inviting aromas of spiced raspberries, ripe Hood strawberries, warm vanilla oak and Rainier cherries that comes together with a subtle cocoa sweetness. On the palate, the 2021 vintage offers a medium-bodied, chalky and polished texture along with lots of crushed cherries, raspberries and dried cranberries, savory herbs, dried flowers and wet stones. There is an enticing crunchy and vibrant finish that makes this Pinot Noir a delight to savor.

The 2021 growing season in the Willamette Valley saw an early heat event that was followed by an abnormally cool front in June and a major heat dome leading us into one of the warmest recorded growing seasons. These climatic conditions have harvested a great amount of ripeness and vibrant flavors in the Penner-Ash Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2021.

Experience this wonderful vintage of Penner-Ash Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 2021 and enjoy the exceptional balance between the fruit flavors and its texture. Replenish your senses with this beauty as the dry and savory finish gives way to a lingering sensation that will make you come back for more. Drink now and treat your palate with this Penner-Ash masterpiece.

Elegant Oregon Pinot with a complex, berry and cherry finish and surprising body.
Rated 4 out of 5
Rodney Minich – August 30, 2019
Penner Ash’s Oregon Pinot is a great value and a standout among other wines from Santa Barbara and Burgundy. While it has a new world style, it still holds its own.

Melinda Fuller – September 4, 2019
Dark ruby with fruity nose, cola and root notes. Tart acidity with juicy finish. 3/5.
Rated 4 out of 5
Joel Pereira – October 10, 2019
Medium plus nose shows orange peel, floral notes, cherry, cola. Palate is wonderfully expressive, layers of red fruits, light earth, touch of oak tones. Great winemaker (Lynn Penner-Ash) and excellent QPR.

Mario Harris – October 10, 2019
Intense with notes of strawberry, rose petals, earth, minerals, and forest floor. Medium and concentrated finish. Enjoyable until 2024.

Floral and nicely spiced with ripe black and red cherry. A hint of new oak. Fun and simple for near-term enjoyment.

Standout wine of the evening with layers of cherries, raspberries, & spice. Most expensive, but convinced us to visit Penner-Ash.

Edna Jenkins – November 1, 2019
Expressive, delicious Pinot Noir with notes of black cherries, sweet spices, and violets. Medium-full-bodied with lower-medium tannin and medium acidity. Good length. Drink within 3 years.

Deandre Bell – January 10, 2020
Complex with notes of spice, earth, forest floor, mushroom, and great acidity. Pair it with cedar plank salmon. $40 retail, worth it.

Samantha Ryan – January 25, 2020
Oregon Pinot with tart cherry and cranberry aroma, subtle palate, medium acidity and tannins. Nice, but lacks the exceptional factor.

Leroy Bertalan – April 10, 2020
Heavy oak and alcohol overpower the fruit in this wine, resulting in a gloopy texture and restrained flavors.

Warren Phillips – May 20, 2020
Not up to par with the price. Dark sappy fruit with boozy heat.

Thomas Garrett – July 8, 2020
Initial funky aroma, followed by a refreshing taste that loses its earthy notes and gains sweet oak. A complex and dynamic wine.

Gregory Burley – July 25, 2020
Red fruit nose, sweet cherry palate, earthy finish. Enjoyable, not complex.

Patrick Stackhouse – August 5, 2020
Pinot Noir, 3 years old. Shy fruit aroma, bold palate from alcohol, oak, and acid. Flavors of red fruit, wood, pink flowers, tea, and citrus peel. No score given.

William Delafuente – December 2, 2020
Complex aromas of herbs and fruit with a spicy, earthy taste and hints of oak. Promising wine that will develop more earthy and mushroom flavors with time.

John Ward – August 28, 2021
Penner-Ash’s basic Willamette Valley Pinot is a well-balanced red with notes of red cherry and raspberry fruit, tangerine, clove, cocoa, and black tea. It has a medium body, soft tannins, and 14.4% alcohol. Enjoy it now until 2026.

Lena Orr – September 5, 2021
Wine is corked.
Rated 4 out of 5
Lindsay Cardona – September 18, 2021
Clean and warm fruit with a liqueur-like taste due to high alcohol. Intense balance of tannin and acid with cherry fruit notes. Limited complexity.
Rated 4 out of 5
Rita Hope – September 21, 2021
Overly sweet with strong candied fruit flavors. May appeal to Pinot drinkers who prefer boldness, but lacks the subtlety and mystery of a well-made Pinot.

Derrick Hurley – October 1, 2021
Enjoyed Soft. Nicely nuanced.

Promising pine, earth and metal notes, this wine is expected to age gracefully.

Heidi Lamotte – November 25, 2021
This Willamette PN is soft, balanced, and allows fruit flavors to shine without overwhelming. Tannin structure suggests it won’t age long.

One-dimensional with lacking fruit compared to other bottles from the same purchase, but not necessarily bad. Others enjoyed it.

BarZotto’s PNP is big and oaky, not my ideal Oregon pinot at 14.4%.

Feminine Pinot Noir with floral notes. Lean finish, pleasant minerality. Slightly diluted.

Tart cherry, peppery, wet earth, and stone. Oak is dominant. Good balance, but not very complex. Fits into Willamette Valley’s sense of “place.”

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir grapes exhibit a distinct elegance. Their thin skins and tightly clustered berries make them susceptible to disease and challenging to cultivate. However, the rewards of this persnickety grape are extraordinary. Pinot Noir wines possess a remarkable flavor profile, often described as silky, with vibrant acidity, delicate tannins, and an array of aromas. Expect to encounter red fruit notes like cherry and raspberry, accompanied by earthy undertones, floral hints, and sometimes a touch of spice. Renowned regions such as Burgundy in France, the Willamette Valley in Oregon, and California's Sonoma County have become synonymous with exceptional Pinot Noir production. Each region brings its own terroir and climate, contributing to the wine's character. Burgundy, for instance,... Read More
