Nicolas Jay Pinot Noir L'Ensemble 2019
Dark, brooding color with purple edges. A unique viscosity to this wine in the glass and immediate savory spices drifting outward. Dark red berries, Hawaiian starfruit, root beer cask, and sweet bark emerge as you lean in.
A tightly wound entry that compresses then explodes with prickly pears and pomegranates inside a light shell of sweet vanilla and roasted nuts as its momentum builds. The layers of flavors broaden with a tight framing of acids, chalky tannins, and a level of tension that will certainly reveal more complexity in the months and years to come.
