Thank you for these kind words about our 2014 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, @christinehavens! ・・・ I tasted the 2014 Nicolas-Jay Pinot Noir last November and earlier this week with winemaker Tracy Kendall. Since then the tannins are a bit more integrated, it's softened a bit. As with Jean-Nicolas' native Côte d'Or Domaine Méo-Camuzet, there is a clear thread of stylistic consistency between the two brands. Both for me are brawnier, more powerful expressions of Pinot Noir, and yet, neither loses that ethereal weightlessness I so cherish in a good Pinot. A lovely sensory arc of decaying rose petals, red fruit, and underbrush. @vivino @nicolasjay #winesofinstagram #winesoforegon #pinotnoir

Many thanks to @damewine for these kind words on our new release. We're happy to read that Jean-Nicolas Méo's touch comes through in the Willamette Valley, too. #viensavecnous #willamettevalley #drinkoregon #repost #newrelease ・・・ I have been a fan of Méo-Camuzet and specifically their Clos de Vougeot for many years. I once heard Jean-Nicolas Méo give a seminar/tasting and he is a very direct, forthright type of producer who makes no excuses for his atypical Clos Vougeot that is generous, open and lush on first release... typically Clos Vougeot is austere and closed for the first 10 to sometimes 15 years of its life and even then its delights are ethereal in nature. I love traditional, great, Clos Vougeot but cannot deny Méo visceral appeal, and it has always been the favorite wine of the a wine lover crowd anytime I have had it at an event. And so, I was excited to try Jean-Nicolas' Oregon, Willamette Valley, 2015 Pinot Noir which is a partnership with Jay Boberb, Founder of I.R.S. Records - REM & The GoGo's were part of their roaster. This 2015 @NicolasJay Pinot Noir has lavish blackberry flavors with notes of charred cedar, smoky ask and hint of iris with a sumptuously, well-constructed body with an abundance of luxuriant fruit and lively exuberance on the finish.
