This spectacular Pinot Noir from the Momtazi Vineyard is brought up in 50% new French oak and displays notes of boysenberry, huckleberry, black licorice, smoked baking spices, fresh cedar and some turned wet earth components. As with all of Nicolas-Jay’s wines, the nose is unreal and worth buying the wine for that alone. The palate presents medium plus acidity and mellow tannins alongside a saline and savory characteristic that matches the luscious fruit. Only 145 cases made.
