#19 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2025
Aromas of spiced raspberries and ripe Hood strawberries gently fold into warm vanilla oak. Rainier cherry and cocoa provide a savory sweetness and weight on the palate leading to a lengthy finish. The 2021 vintage explores six sub-AVAs, culminating in a Pinot Noir emblematic of the Willamette Valley, and of the Penner-Ash winemaking style - a textural experience from start to finish.
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.

The 2022 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley wafts up with a fruit-forward blend of crushed raspberries, blueberries and autumnal spice. Soothingly round and pliant, it offers balanced inner sweetness as a juicy wave of wild berries and a nuance of clove wash across the palate. The finish is medium in length, with a gentle saturation of fine tannins yet remains fresh.
