This 2019 wine comes from Nicolas-Jay’s Bishop Creek Vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA of Oregon’s Willamette Valley. The vineyard is described as organically farmed and planted mostly to Pinot Noir, with old vines on a site that produces wines with notable structure, tension, and mineral character. The 2019 vintage was harvested on September 14, 2019, bottled on February 5, 2021, and made with native yeast, no fining or filtration, and 50% new French oak.
Tasting Notes
The winery describes the wine as opening with wet stone, crushed granite, and generous brambly blackberry. It then adds roasted meat, game, toasted nut, and savory notes, with an exotic spice character and a long, tight-knit finish.
Awards and Accolades
94 points, James Suckling. 93 points, Wine Spectator. 92 points, Wine Enthusiast. 92 points, Wine & Spirits.
Serving and Cellaring
Serve slightly cool, around standard Pinot Noir serving temperature. The wine is built for aging and was described by the producer as one that will age for years as the tannins integrate and the fruit broadens.
