Winemaking: The 2022 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir was harvested October 6–20, 2022, and aged 10 months in French oak, 24% new. Winemaker Kate Ayres has described this bottling as the focus of the Pinot program, built from sites across the valley.
Vineyards and terroir: The 2022 vintage draws fruit from vineyards across several Willamette Valley sub-AVAs — Decanter notes 12 sites — for a wine meant to express the region's freshness, aroma, and texture. Since the first vintage in 1998, the house has sourced from longstanding grower relationships as well as its own work in the valley.
Family and history: Penner-Ash Wine Cellars was founded by Lynn Penner-Ash, whose inaugural Willamette Valley Pinot Noir vintage was 1998. The estate is on Ribbon Ridge Road in Newberg, and the Willamette Valley Pinot Noir remains the core bottling of the house style.
