J. CHRISTOPHER 2014 NUAGES PINOT NOIR

91 points Wine & Spirits | 91 points Vinous

Named in tribute to one of winemaker Jay’s favorite gypsy jazz tunes, “Nuages” Pinot Noir is our Chehalem Mountains blend. Nuages (French for “clouds”) also pays homage to the moderating influence of Oregon’s autumn cloud cover, which slows ripening to allow for the long hang time that creates fully developed flavors. The 2014 vintage is sourced from our estate, the Appassionata vineyard, and the Lia’s Vineyard. LEARN MORE
