Nicolas-Jay Willamette Valley Pinot Noir (2017)
750mL / Oregon / USA
The 2017 Willamette Valley is a pure and vibrant ruby in the glass, with aromatics of tart cherry and crushed strawberry, alongside hints of dried rose petal and lavender. The cool vintage reveals a wine which is lithe and ethereal on the palate, a bit shy in its youth, but with fine texture and tannin. A very pretty wine, already well balanced and approachable. Seductive with an elegant lightness that makes it very drinkable and enjoyable.
