2015 Penner-Ash Zena Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir [WS93][WA93][JS92]

"Supple and well-structured, with savory black cherry aromas that open to polished raspberry, orange zest and spiced cinnamon flavors, finishing with refined tannins." 

"The 2015 Pinot Noir Zena Crown Vineyard is pale to medium ruby-purple in color with an elegant, perfumed nose of wild blackberries, new leather, pipe tobacco and undergrowth plus notes of cardamom and garrigue. Light to medium-bodied and silky in the mouth, it offers great black and blue fruits framed with spice and earthy accents, held together with firm, plush tannins and juicy acidity and finishing long and packed with wonderful layers." 

"Fresh and perfumed notes of blackcurrants, ivy, bark, dark chocolate shavings, orange zest and a hint of citrus rind and spices. This has a sturdy and firm tannins backbone on the palate with fresh acidity, crunchy fruit and a walnut finish." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The 2015 Zena Crown Vineyard Pinot Noir has bramble, blackberry and peppery whole cluster notes that give way to savory-sweet earth and cedar spice. The wine starts with a lively entry that yields to a dense and creamy finish."
