Compared to Condrieu bottlings that often cost two to three times as much, it represents strong value for a Viognier of this aromatic intensity and textural complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003eWhy Penner-Ash Viognier?\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe split-fermentation technique—92% stainless steel paired with 8% concrete egg—is not something most Oregon producers attempt with Viognier, and it gives this wine a textural dimension that pure stainless-steel versions lack. Dual 91-point scores from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate and Wine Spectator confirm the execution of the 2019 vintage. The Rogue Valley sourcing brings a warmth and ripeness to the fruit that cooler Willamette Valley sites simply cannot achieve with this variety. For anyone serious about American Viognier, this bottling from Penner-Ash stands as one of Oregon's most thoughtfully made expressions of the grape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penner-Ash","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44837573787817,"sku":"28167","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0680\/1024\/6313\/files\/Penner_Ash_Viognier__54199.jpg?v=1730486823"}],"url":"https:\/\/theliquorbarn.com\/collections\/penner-ash.oembed","provider":"The Liquor Barn","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
