Tasting notes
From biodynamically farmed vines, all 115 clone, the 2022 Pinot Noir Momtazi Vineyard is a dark ruby hue in the glass and delivers savory notes of framboise, dark wet stones, crushed flowers, and sweet herbs. The palate has broader shoulders but remains medium-bodied, and while it reveals a slightly feral side, it’s completely clean, with ripe, well-defined tannins, balanced, fresh acidity, and a long finish. This structured wine is built for the long haul and is going to show its best with another year in a cool cellar. Drink 2025-2040.

Decidedly savory, the 2022 Pinot Noir Momtazi opens with a mix of earth tones, flowery underbrush and woodland berries. This is silky in feel, displaying elegant textures and wild berry fruits, further embellished by savory herbs and hints of spice. Echoes of licorice and blackberry linger as the 2022 finishes lightly structured and darkly floral. This is an excellent interpretation of Momtazi. Of note, due to powdery mildew in 2022, the production of Momtazi suffered a reduction by two-thirds.
