Nicolas Jay Bishop Creek Pinot Noir 2021

Nicolas-Jay Estate, a distinguished producer of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Oregon`s Willamette Valley, was born out of a three-decade friendship between music entrepreneur Jay Boberg and Burgundy winemaker Jean-Nicolas Méo of Domaine Méo-Camuzet. The 2021 Bishop Creek Pinot Noir stands out as truly spectacular, originating from this exceptional, ungrafted old-vine site in the northwest corner of the Yamhill-Carlton district. The wine unfolds with notes of anise, pencil lead, and a gamey quality, showcasing its dark hue as it gracefully swirls in the glass. Upon further aeration, enticing aromas of roasted plum, cassis, and a forest floor freshness emerge, complemented by hints of candied fennel and balsamic undertones.
