2018 Zena Crown Pinot Noir ‘Conifer’ Eola-Amity Hills Willamette Valley

WS95 Offering verve and persistence, this Pinot is taut at first but slowly blooms into dynamic blueberry and black cherry flavors that are accented by forest floor and spice tea. Best from 2023 through 2031. From Oregon. —T.F.
Estate Notes: Refreshing as the cold Deschutes River cutting through Oregon’s arid desert, Conifer exemplifies summer with notes of Bit-O-Honey, pine duff, boysenberry, and chanterelles.
