Nicolas Jay Pinot Noir Willamette 2015
The 2015 Nicolas Jay is a rich, expansive Pinot that shows both impressive weight and balance. The bouquet is simply lovely, offering aromas of black fruit, cedar spice, violets and cassis. The palate is luxurious, displaying classic notes of dried black cherries, blood orange, and hints of cranberries that culminate in a fresh, focused finish. It is an absolute thrill to drink and will continue to offer pleasure for at least 8-10 years.
