This wine comes from Nicolas-Jay’s Bishop Creek estate vineyard in Yamhill-Carlton, within Oregon’s Willamette Valley. The 2017 vintage was a cool harvest, and the finished wine is described as showing a ripe but poised profile, with emphasis on elegance, fine tannin, and a polished texture. The wine is based around Bishop Creek fruit, and the vineyard itself is noted for old vines and a site-driven expression.
Tasting Notes
Reported notes include blackcap blackberry and blueberry on the nose, with roasted meat, toasted nut, and wet-stone minerality. Other published tasting notes describe violets, blueberries, earth, spice, and a sleek, fluid palate with fresh, fine tannins.
Awards and Accolades
Wine Spectator 93 points.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve at standard Pinot Noir temperature, lightly cool rather than warm. This wine is already approachable but has enough structure and detail to continue developing with short- to medium-term cellaring.
