100% Dundee and Wadenswil clone Pinot. Gotta love this winery - so happy I’m in the wine club and have a few of these. Initially, quite floral, but has a strong crisp backbone with bright red fruits. The 2014 could keep going for a few more years but it’s also in a nice place now. — 2 years ago

The Megan Anne Cellars ‘Black Love’ Pinot Noir is a barrel selection wine sourced from both the Lachini and Nysa Vineyards. The wine saw some extensive oak treatment (16 months 60% new French oak) prior to bottling. There are lighter oaky tones on the nose that connect with dark fruits and tobacco leaf with damp earth. The palate shows good weight and freshness with black tea, blood orange, peat moss and cherry vanilla flavors. I really love the range here. While this is drinking marvelously now, the wine will cellar well for a decade or more. Drink 2018-2030- 93 — 5 years ago

The 2015 is drinking better after some additional time in bottle. Since I recently opened some Meo-Camuzet Burgundies, I wanted to compare while they were fresh in my mind. This wine reminds me of a New World version of Meo’s village Nuit-St-George. It’s slightly riper in some ways, simpler in structure, and doesn’t have much of that Old World tangy/sour/mineral finish. Cost is sorta close (Meo a little more in most markets), so for me the Meo wins by a SLIGHT margin, but this is oh-so-close. The N-J will likely be preferred by most American palettes. — 5 years ago

I thought this showed well considering we opened alongside a couple of bruisers. Elegant pinot, all red fruited and picked up weight in the glass over a few hours. Still primary and floral, hold them longer for more development. — 6 years ago

It's one of the best vyds in the region and always proven when it's aged... zippy and bloody, raspberry, black tea and mandarin rind. Foxy and fresh, no brett, and the mild oxidation plays well with the very upright nature of this site — 7 years ago

Loved this Pinot. Had this with pork chops, roasted beet purée and Swiss chard. Wine is balanced and notes of cherries and very silky — 4 years ago

This is a new wine by the Nicolas-Jay duo. A selective pick of Own-Rooted vines from three vineyards-Hyland, Nysa, and Bishop Creek. They isolated the pick, vinification, and barrel time. Some of the vines go back to 1972. I thought three things after tasting this wine... ”That’s some pure textured fruit in the glass”, “Man...I wonder how many cases are they going to keep for the house library”, and “Yeah, these guys know what they are doing”. — 5 years ago
