Solena Estate Domaine Danielle Laurent Pinot Noir 2023 Wine (75cl)

The description below is the retailer’s own wording.

This signature powerhouse Pinot Noir is from our home estate in Yamhill. Its marine sedimentary soils create a darker, more textural wine than neighboring AVAs. On the nose, blackberry and bing cherry aromas merge with mulling spices. The palate packs a punch, with fine, bold tannins and crushed slate minerality layers along with deep red fruits. Drink now or cellar until 2035. Blend: 100% Pinot Noir Displaying a deeper magenta/ruby hue, the 2023 Pinot Noir Domaine Danielle Laurent was sourced from biodynamically farmed vines planted nearly 25 years ago. It offers depth and intensity, with saturating notes of black raspberries, grenadine, crushed flowers, and a touch of reduction. This wine needs time to integrate and shed some of its youthful character. The broadest and most plush in the lineup, it's relatively full-bodied, with savory, mushroomy earth notes and a darker overall profile. Structurally firm, with ripe tannins and some grip on the finish, it's going to benefit from some patience. Drink 2027-2047. This berry-licious treat begins with Rainier cherry, mulberry and grape hyacinth aromas. The fruit on the palate is darker, with blackberries mingling with bits of bay leaf, nutmeg and a cup of strong-brewed English breakfast tea. The acidity is elevated with fine-grained tannins. After fermentation in stainless steel, the wine rested in French oak barrels, 22% new, for 11 months. Editors' Choice Opens with a burst of pure, floral raspberry but then shifts gears, building a deep structure with tarragon and forest floor tones. Finishes with cherry fruit leather accents and broad-shouldered tannins. Best from 2027 through 2035. 400 cases made.
