2014 Lenné Estate Jill’s 115 Yamhill-Carlton Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., pH 3.82, TA 0.57, 100 cases, $55. Aged 11 months in French oak barrels. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Very pleasant nose displaying vivid aromas of boysenberry, black currant, dark chocolate, and a hint of floral bouquet. Layers of luscious black cherry and boysenberry fruits are currently buried in muscular tannins. Showing plenty of fruit but little nuance, and finishing on a slightly astringent note. When tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle, the wine still lacked charm. Time will tell. Score: 88-90. Reviewed November 19, 2016
