Description

This is ripe but restrained for what was a warmer vintage in the Willamette. Aromas of pine cone, hazelnut and dried mushroom are followed by flavours of black cherry and salted watermelon rind. There's a pleasing tension across the 2016 Nicolas-Jay lineup, gliding back and forth between plump, svelte fruit flavours and a subtle, sinewy grip. Drinking Window 2019 – 2029”

“Really lovely cherries and brambly raspberries, graphite and red flowers on the nose, leading to a rich and dark, deep, plush and spicy palate that has a very pure core of satiny, silky fruit flavor.”

--------THE PRODUCER--------

Domaine Nicolas-Jay

Nicolas-Jay is the story of a three-decade friendship between famed Burgundian winemaker Jean-Nicolas Meo of Domaine Meo-Camuzet and visionary music entrepreneur Jay Boberg, and their shared love of Oregon Pinot Noir. It is also the story of their desire to build something lasting together, while creating a distinctive expression of great Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. At Nicolas-Jay, this is achieved by applying viticultural and winemaking experience gained from working with the grands crus of Burgundy to the finest grapes from Oregon. Jean-Nicolas, Jay and talented Associate Winemaker Tracy Kendall  make alluring and expressive wines that convey the special character of Oregon Pinot Noir. – Nicholas-Jay.com
