Ron and Lynn Penner-Ash founded their name-sake winery, Penner-Ash Wine Cellars, in Oregon’s Willamette Valley in 1998. In addition to their estate vineyard, they work with growers throughout the valley to create single-vineyard wines. They consider their Pinot Noir their flagship wine, and well they should. It is charming and luscious wine with ripe black cherry fruit with notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, and baking spices. Pair it for an Oregon classic combo of fresh Pacific Salmon.
