Zena Crown is located towards the southern end of the Eola-Amity Hills AVA, which is located within the Willamette Valley, home to many of Oregon’s finest Pinot Noir vineyards.
During the growing season, ocean breezes push through the Van Duzer Corridor in the Coastal Range maintaining a consistently cool climate that is the hallmark of all great Pinot Noir winegrowing regions. This climate, combined with the shallow, well-drained volcanic soils of the Nekia series that dominate this area, are the primary reasons the Eola-Amity Hills AVA is emerging as one of the world’s most exciting winegrowing regions for Pinot Noir. Roserock is LIVE and Salmon Safe Certified.The Pinot Noir at Zena Crown Vineyard ripened to perfection during the warm seasonal growing conditions of the 2006 vintage. Following harvest in the cooler hours of the morning, the fruit was gently sorted and destemmed without crushing. Whole sorted berries then underwent prolonged cold soak, followed by gentle fermentation in small batches. The resulting wine was dense and deeply colored. Eleven months of reductive élevage in French oak barrels enhanced the breed and tempered the youthful brashness of the wine. This personality-driven blend shows great intensity of fruit together with fantastic weight and density in the mouth. |
