NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Nicolas Jay Own-Rooted Pinot Noir is an impressive example of Oregon Pinot Noir.Its dark ruby color offers a glimpse of its depth and complexity. On the nose, aromas of ripe dark cherry, dried herbs, and earthy notes abound. On the palate, flavors of juicy red fruit, baking spices, and earthy nuances fill the mouth. The tannins are well-structured and the finish is long and lingering. This is an excellent Oregon Pinot Noir that will pair wonderfully with duck and other game dishes.

ORIGINS
Winery: Nicolas Jay
Region: Oregon
Oregon is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, located between Washington to the north and California to the south. It is known for its diverse landscape of forests, mountains, rivers, and high desert, and for its vibrant wine industry.
Oregon's wine industry dates back to the mid-1800s, when the first vineyards were planted in the Willamette Valley. The region was largely forgotten until the 1960s, when a group of pioneering winemakers began to experiment with Pinot Noir and other cool-climate varieties. Since then, Oregon has become one of the most important wine regions in the United States, with over 500 wineries and more than 1,000 vineyards.CUSTOMER RATING
