Decanter, September 2023, Score: 93
Planted to its own roots in the 1990s, Nysa is a study in boldness as a vineyard, and it brings elegance in this Pommard clone bottling by Nicolas Jay. Sweet berry aromatics open alongside white tea, and the palate is showy and loaded with delicate fruit flavours: strawberry and balsamic and Oregon blackberry dance alongside a note of black tea leaf. Drink 2023-2035.

Jeb Dunnuck, September 2023, Score: 95
A bright ruby, the 2021 Pinot Noir Nysa is ripe with pure fruit of red cherry liqueur, candied roses, anise, and fresh pine. The palate takes on a darker mineral-tinged profile, with ripe tannins and notes of black tea adding a grounding sensibility, while it retains a refined feel in its earthier profile. Well-balanced and long on the palate, it will benefit from another couple of years in bottle to develop into its more savory tones of porcini and umami richness. Drink 2025-2040.
Region
Oregon
Oregon forms part of the Pacific Northwest area of the USA, lying between California and Washington state. Oregon's vines are directly exposed to the marine airflow of the Pacific Ocean, givingmilder winters but cooler and wetter summers than Washington, which has a strong continental climate. The wine industry in Oregon dates back to 1854 when the first vinifera vines were planted. However it wasn't until the 1960s that Pinot Noir was first planted, which was soon to become therising star of Oregon. Oregon's overnight fame came in 1979 when David Lett (known as ‘Papa Pinot')of the Eyrie Vineyard entered his 1975 Pinot Noir into a blind tasting organised by Robert Drouhin. He came second after Drouhin's 1959 Chambolle-Musigny and ahead of Drouhin's 1961 Clos-de-Bèze! NowOregon's reputation is for quality Pinot Noir (great depth and complexity) and Pinot Gris (a crisp,dry style with more flesh than Pinot Grigio).
