2011 Lenné Estate Jill’s 115 Yamhill-Carlton District Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

13.5% alc., pH 3.50, 50 cases, $55. Released November 14, 2013. Harvested November 1, 2011. Aged in 25% new French oak barrels. · Moderate reddish-purple color in the glass. Demure aromas of wild berries and forest floor lead to mid weight flavors of black cherry and dark red berries wrapped in modest tannins. The finish offers an appealing carry-over of juicy cherry fruit. Solid, but not very giving, even the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Give this wine at least another year in bottle. Score: 89. Reviewed December 18, 2013
