2016 Lenné Le Nez Yamhill-Carlton Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

14.0% alc., 399 cases, $36. Released March 1, 2019. This wine is composed of each of the five clones planted at Lenné: 777, 114, 115, 667 and Pommard. The infant wine is generally more fruit forward than the winery’s other offerings. · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. The nose offers a lovely mix of black cherry fruit and botanical aromas. Discreetly concentrated in a forward-drinking style, with flavors of black cherry, blackberry, black tea and earth supported by tender oak. Well-balanced with a modest finish. Score: 89.
