Background

At the time, it was just wild imagination. Yet by the late 1960s, the potential to produce life-changing Pinot Noir had lured a handful of winemakers to the remote Willamette Valley. Emboldened by their early successes, vintners from California to the Côte d’Or took notice, and a wave of interest and investment ensued. A burst of expansion occurred in the early 2000s, when many of the last, best hillside sites were claimed and planted. Premier Pacific Vineyards developed prime vineyard land just as the valley’s vibrant styles of Pinot Noir achieved international renown. One such site, positioned on a southwest-facing slope of weathered volcanic soils, and clustered amidst the most historic vineyards of the Eola-Amity Hills, is Zena Crown Vineyard.
Today, Zena Crown Vineyard comprises 115 acres of vines and 48 vineyard blocks. From it we produce four Pinot Noir wines – one for each season, to capture the vineyard’s changing moods and expressions just as if it were a living, breathing thing.

Tasting Notes

Flavors of blueberry pie, fresh roasted coffee and morel mushroom. The mid-palate has a weight that is combined with balanced lightness and a red fruit element that almost surprises the taster.
