Zena Crown Vineyard

August 28, 2017

A fantastic winery focused on high quality Pinot Noir, the Zena Crown Vineyard is set on a southwest-facing slope of weathered volcanic soils, in the Eola-Amity Hills. The vineyard was purchased by the Jackson Family in 2013 and relies on the winemaking talents of Shane Moore and consulting winemaker Tony Rynders, the mastermind behind Tendril, Child’s Play, Panther Creek and many others. Tony was the former winemaker of Domaine Serene before starting his own winery, Tendril in 2008. 

You can feel Tony’s hand with his new release as the 2014 Zena Crown Vineyard ‘The Sum’ Pinot Noir (WWB, 94) shows a silky texture and a wonderful aromatic and flavor range. This is a gorgeous Pinot Noir wine that is not to be missed. Learn more about these great wines at http://www.zenacrown.com/ Here is the new release by Zena Crown.

2014 Zena Crown ‘The Sum’ Pinot Noir- This great wine is sourced from the 1st, 12th and 14th blocks in the vineyard, utilizing clones 4 and 667. They have utilized 40% whole cluster fermentation as the wine was aged for 16 months in French oak prior to bottling. This translucent colored wine begins with intense aromatics of forest floor, peat moss, baking spices, red cherry and red currant. The texture is smooth and downright inviting to you, as you savor, cherry pie, red raspberry, guava puree and spice box flavors with black truffle essence. There is a seamless quality to this wine that shows a wonderful purity of fruit. Enjoy this gorgeous Pinot Noir wine over the next decade. Drink 2017-2028- 94
