2017 Zena Crown Pinot Noir ‘Conifer’ Eola-Amity Hills

WS95 Impressive for its detailed structure and rich polish, this shows expressive raspberry, black tea, sweet anise and forest floor accents that with finish with silky, medium-grained tannins. Drink now through 2030. 535 cases made.
VIN93 Bright ruby-red. Cherry, musky red berries, pungent flowers and a hint of vanilla on the highly perfumed nose. Juicy and energetic on the palate, offering cherry cola, raspberry and mocha flavors and a subtle touch of savory herbs. Pliant tannins add subtle grip to a very long, penetrating finish that echoes the cherry and floral notes.
Estate Notes: Wavy structure, gravitas, and nice weight, Conifer exemplifies summer with notes of Bazooka Bubble Gum, pine duff, and broken twigs.
