NICOLAS-JAY Pinot Noir, Yamhill-Carlton ‘Bishop Creek Vineyard’ 2021

Aged in 50% new French oak, this phenomenal Bishop’s Creek Pinot Noir from Nicolas-Jay is a work of art. Ruby neon cored with a lighter pink rim, it stuns with aromas of lavender flowers, crushed strawberries, forest herbs, and shades of Blood orange zest. Medium to full-bodied across the palate, it gifts more red-fruit accents that are perfectly balanced with the crunchy tannins and the mouthwatering acidity. Just 325 cases made. Highly recommended and editor’s choice.
