2014 Lenné Estate Yamhill-Carlton Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., 800 cases, $38. A new bottling combining the Le Nez and Estate bottlings. About 50% Pommard. Featured wine at 2017 International Pinot Noir Celebration. (score when tasted 11/19/16 was 89-91). · Moderately light garnet color in the class. Aromas of cherry and cranberry lead to a lighter weighted and red fruited wine that is lacy and juicy. Easy to cozy up to, with fine-grain tannins and a good cut of acidity on the satisfying finish. The wine’s appealing texture is its best feature. Score: 91. Reviewed September 3, 2017
