2010 Penner-Ash Dussin Vineyard Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
13.0% alc., pH 3.79, TA 0.52, $60. This estate vineyard is planted in
sedimentary and volcanic soils to Dijon and Pommard clones on a
southeastern slope. Aged 10 months in 38% new, 29% one-year-old,
29% two-year-old and 4% neutral French oak.
·
Moderately light reddishpurple
color in the glass. Very shy aromas of dark red and black berries
with a hint of oak-derived mocha. Delicious heart of richly flavored spicy black
plum and boysenberry fruit with a topcoat of cherry cola, vanilla and mocha java.
Well-behaved tannins make for easy approachability. Very silky and seductive.
Still great the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle.

2006 Penner-Ash Dussin Vineyard Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., $60. Penner-Ash is
surrounded by the Dussin Vineyard located high on a ridge in the Yamhill-Carlton District. Chris and
Tyanne Dussin are the owners.
·
The wine sports darker Pinot fruits in the nose and the fruit is echoed in
the flavors. A beautiful wine which is full, plush and creamy in the mouth displaying deft use of oak and
a refreshing and lingering finish. Still a bit shy, the wine picks up intensity and complexity in the glass
over time. I would give this one a couple of years in the cellar, but it will be tough to avoid the
temptation to open it now.
