2016 Broadley Vineyards Marcile Lorraine Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

13.8% alc., $55. Estate grown, produced and bottled. Named for founder Craig Broadley’s mother. Produced from a distinctive block of old vines. In production, cooler fermentation, tighter-grained wood and low toast barrels are used. · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. Nicely perfumed with scents of black cherry, fertile earth and marzipan. Well-ripened fruit profile in a mid weight plus style offering fruit flavors of black cherry and black raspberry. Plenty of lush fruit to satisfy, with oak checking in with a marzipan note. Good overall balance and a full tannic backbone predict age ability. Score: 91. Reviewed April 16, 2019
