Nicolas Jay Bishop Creek Pinot Noir, Yamhill-Carlton District, USA 2023

Bishop Creek Pinot Noir, Yamhill-Carlton District 2023 is a beautifully polished Oregon Pinot Noir that captures the elegance and depth of this prized Willamette Valley site. Aromas of red cherry, wild strawberry, and rose petal lead into a silky, layered palate framed by fine tannins and vibrant acidity. Subtle notes of spice and forest floor add complexity, while the finish is long, refined, and impeccably balanced. Approachable now yet structured enough to evolve over the next several years, this is a compelling choice for collectors and Pinot lovers seeking a sophisticated, terroir-driven expression of Yamhill-Carlton.

"A bright ruby/red color, the 2023 Pinot Noir Bishop Creek opens to ripe notes of black raspberries, cherry cordial, crushed flowers, toasted cedar, and dark stones, with more forest earth as it opens. Medium-bodied, it has a ripe feel, with an approachable upfront character, fine tannins, and a silky texture. Notes of tea leaf, hints of truffle earth, and dark stones are present throughout the finish. It’s drinking well now, but it should also age gracefully over the next 10 years." Jeb Dunnuck 94
