de Lancellotti Pinot noir Chehalem Mountains 09

Review:

2009 Wine Spectator - 92 points - Polished and focused, with gorgeous cherry, currant and mineral flavors mingling seamlessly on the taut structure, finishing sleek and balanced with mouthwatering acidity. Drink now through 2019. - H.S.

2009 Wine Advocate - 91 points - The 2009 Pinot Noir Estate is composed of 80% Pommard clone and 20% Dijon clone 115 that spent 16 months in 20% new French oak. It offers up an already complex perfume of exotic spices, incense, cherry, and raspberry that titillate the nose. This is followed by a savory, elegant, nicely proportioned Pinot that will evolve for 1-2 years and provide enjoyment through 2019. - Jay Miller
