Nicolas Jay, Bishop Creek Pinot Noir other_regions and terrific purity100 cases were made of the 2016 Bishop Creek Pinot Noir, from Domaine Nicolas Jays estate vineyard. Poised and patient at first, aromas are driven by red and citrus fruits with a subtle woodsy quality in the background. The palate is silky and focused, with an elastic texture not unlike a bungee cord, snapping into an explosive and multi faceted finish. A kingpin of the Nicolas Jay lineup.
