2016 Lenné Estate Cinq Élus Yamhill-Carlton Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

14.0% alc., 125 cases, $78. A blend of the best barrel from each of the five estate clonal blocks. · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. The nose is the most seductive in the 2016 lineup, offering the scent of juicy, pure blackest cherry. The chorus of ripe and expansive black raspberry and blackberry fruit along with the supportive, juicy acidity is utter contentment . A complete wine with exemplary harmony, leaving behind an extremely long trail of of black cherry goodness. As good as this wine is now, it is an ideal cellar candidate and would be an ideal centerpiece for a special dinner in the future. Score: 95. Reviewed March 23, 2019
