2015 de Lancellotti Lachini Vineyard Chehalem Mountains Oregon Pinot Noir

14.5% alc., pH 3.50, 220 cases, $60. Sourced from Lachini Vineyard located in the Chehalem Mountains AVA. 60% Pommard and 40% 115. 15% whole cluster. Native yeast fermentation, aged 11 months in French oak barrels, 25% new. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Aromas of wild strawberry and blueberry arrive with a bit of oak. A comforting wine with vivid flavors of black cherry and blueberry sporting impressive mid palate intensity. Satiny in texture, with the right touch of oak and a very generous finish. When tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle, I was enthralled by the seductively smooth texture of this wine. Score: 94. Reviewed August 27, 2017
