2022 Nicolas-Jay Bishop Creek YC Pinot Noir
Tax included.
Just a spectacular effort from this incomparable, old-vine site situated in the northern reaches of the Willamette Valley. Deep, brambly mountain blackberry compote aromas, hallmarks of this bottling for almost 30 years, are ever-present in this 2022 offering. Underlining this blue and black fruit seam lies a loamy earth component with hints of shaved pencil led. Aggressive and masculine in the outset on the palate with a broad shouldered tannin structure and tight frame that shows no sign of willingness to entertain any type of courtship at first. A second pass now shows roasted plum scents that careen into a spectacular candied fennel element as the wines grip begins to finally release. The crushed granite sensation, also typical of this bottling, arrives on schedule. But there's more of a chewiness to this vintage, its aggressive but there is a litheness to the texture as the tannins form a palisade around a black fruit core. Dusty river rocks and roasted oak also participate texturally as the wine carries for, what must be, minutes and minutes. A sensory experience unique unto itself, the bottling of this rugged vineyard in Yamhill-Carlton should never be overlooked as the pièce de résistance of your cellar.

Buying At Auction?
Your Questions, Answered
What do you need from me to get started?
We will need you to confirm that you are over 18 (for obvious reasons!) and to open an account by registering on the site. This will include provision of credit card details for any eventual purchases. You will also need to sign that you have read the terms and conditions.
How many wines are in each Lot?
You will see the quantity (number of bottles) stated above the price. Please note that the bid-price is per bottle so you will need to multiply the price by the number of bottles in the lot to calculate the total price of the lot.
Can I cancel my bid if I change my mind?
All bids are final - please think before you confirm your bid.
How much is the Buyers' Commission?
We have an extremely competitive buyers' commission of 16.5% (GST inclusive). This will be added to the final winning price of your Lot at the end of the auction.
What are your freight charges?
Please see our Delivery Policy for full details relating to freight.
Is there a Guarantee on my wine?
Under Australian law, consumer guarantees do not apply to goods purchased at auction - all such purchases are at the risk of the Buyer. We will always provide as much detail as we can as to the visual condition and provenance of each Lot, however this is done so as a guide rather than as a guarantee.
