2014 Lenné Estate cinq élus Yamhill-Carlton Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

14.2% alc., $80. A blend of the best barrel from each of the five different estate vineyard blocks. Only produced in great vintages. (score 11/19/16 was 92-93). · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Engaging aromas of dark red cherry, spice and sandalwood. A delicious core of dark cherry and raspberry fruits alerts the palate on entry, enveloping the taste buds, and lasting through a very long finish. Beautifully balanced and truly age worthy. Score: 94. Reviewed September 3, 2017
