2018 Lenné Estate Jill’s 115 Yamhill-Carlton Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

14.1% alc., 60 cases, $55. Named after Steve’s wife’s mother. · Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. The nose is rather reclusive, even when the wine was sampled the following day from a previously opened bottle. There are hints of dark berry and mocha aromas. A charming mid-weight core of black raspberry, boysenberry and cinnamon spice flavors are in tune with a mild grip of tannin. Intensely fruited on the mid palate with very little oak intrusion and finishing long and dry. Still fine when tasted the following day from a previously opened bottle. Score: 92.
