2013 Lenné Estate Jill’s 115 Yamhill-Carlton Willamette Valley Oregon Pinot Noir

13.5% alc., pH 3.75, TA 0.52, $55. Single clone Dijon 115 from estate vineyard. Aged 11 months in French oak barrels. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. Extravagant aromas of cherry and earthy flora lead to a middleweight styled wine featuring juicy flavors of black cherry, blueberry and pomegranate. Lively and bright, with fine grain tannins and an uplifting finish replete with cherry liquor goodness. When tasted the following day from a previously opened and re-corked bottle, the wine’s elegance was on full display and the wholesome marriage of fruit and savory notes was uplifting. Score: 92-93.
