2016 Lenné Estate South Slope Select Yamhill-Carlton Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

14.0% alc., 250 cases, $55. Released February 1, 2019. A blend of mostly Pommard and 115. · Moderate garnet color in the glass. Soaring aromas of cherry, black plum, spice and sawdust. Impeccably balanced with excellent breeding in a mid weight style with a core of black cherry and blackberry fruit flavors. A bit reserved, becoming more engaging over time in the glass. The barrel treatment is adroit and the moderately long finish pleases. Score: 92. Reviewed March 23, 2019
