2015 Lenné Estate South Slope Select Yamhill-Carlton Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

14.2% alc.. Primarily clones 115 and Pommard with a little 777. Aged in 40% new French oak barrels. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. The nose unfolds slowly in the glass but reaches a crescendo over time with soaring aromas of black cherry, ripest strawberry, spice, and dark chocolate with subtle oak highlights. Juicy and luscious on the palate, featuring flavors of dark red, blue and purple berries backed by fine-grain tannins that are nicely integrated. Great potential here. Score: 92-93.
