2014 Lenné Estate Yamhill-Carlton Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., $45. Signature wine composed of the best barrels of the harvest. · Moderately dark reddish-purple color in the glass. The nose becomes more haunting over time in the glass, offering aromas of blackberry, cassis, black raspberry, sousbois, and spice. The mid weight core of purple and black fruits are not particularly giving on the palate. The tannins are evident but supportive, there is a savory thread in the background, and the finish offers good depth of flavor. Unchanged the following day when re-tasted from an opened and re-corked bottle. Score: 89-91. Reviewed November 19, 2016
