100 cases were made of the 2016 Bishop Creek Pinot Noir, from Domaine Nicolas-Jay’s 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.
