This 1998 Pinot Noir is the inaugural wine from Lynn Penner-Ash's (Rex Hill's winemaker) winery. It has a medium to dark ruby color, and delightful black raspberry, plum, and black cherry aromas. This sweet, voluptuously textured, medium to full-bodied wine is packed with gorgeously ripe red cherries and touches of strawberry jam. Well-structured, balanced, and focused, it is a concentrated, powerful, yet elegant wine. Projected maturity: 2003-2008+. Tel. 503-538-0666.

Beautifully built to focus its blackberry, plum and violet aromas and flavors into a bright beam, which lingers effortlessly on the graceful finish. Has flavor and finesse; approachable now, but built to age. Best from 2002 through 2010. 124 cases made.??–HS??Region: Oregon / Willamette Valley Select to Add
