Domaine Nicolas-Jay Pinot Noir 2016 is a medium-bodied Pinot Noir produced in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Established in 2013, Domaine Nicolas-Jay is a collaboration between Jean-Nicolas Méo of Burgundy’s Domaine Méo-Camuzet and US music producer Jay Boberg. The estate`s 2016 Pinot Noir was produced from organically farmed fruit from vineyards located in almost every AVA of the Willamette Valley. The wine was matured for around 18 months in 30-35% new French oak. Winemaker note. "The 2016 Willamette Valley is a focused wine, revealing a darker nose than the previous vintage, with black cherry and plum accented by hints of violet, dried herb and bay laurel. The palate is supported by a backbone of racy acidity which lingers long into the finish, and offers bright red fruit along with savoury herbs, olive, and a saline edge. The wine will benefit from decanting in the short-term, and will mature in bottle for 10-15 years."

Vinous
Brilliant red. Highly perfumed, spice-accented aromas of dark berries and cherry pit, with violet, musky rhubarb and woodsmoke flourishes building in the glass. Offers bitter cherry, black raspberry, floral pastille and spicecake flavors that show very good concentration. A snap of juicy acidity provides back-end lift. The cherry and floral notes build steadily through a very long, penetrating finish that's supported by chewy, slow-mounting tannins. (33% new French oak)
