2014 Lenné Estate Le Nez Yamhill-Carlton Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., $30. The infant wine of Lenné Estate. Contains all the vineyard clones including 114, 667, 777, 115 and Pommard. · Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. The nose offers a welcome balance between savory sois-bois and cherry and cranberry fruit aromas. Very approachable, with discreet flavors of black cherry, purple grape, smoky chocolate, and seasoned oak. Rather simple, with a modest attack and slightly astringent finish. More fruity the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle. Score: 88. Reviewed November 19, 2016
