Beyond the Label

“It's a good time to love Oregon Pinot Noir.”

That’s Wine Spectator’s take on the state’s phenomenal 2016 vintage. And when you sip this charmer, you’re not just enjoying an exceptionally crafted wine from a terrific harvest … you’re also getting a taste of the American dream.

Winemaker Moe Momtazi and his wife, Flora, fled Iran during the revolution (and subsequent outlawing of alcohol). They immigrated to the U.S. and Moe became a civil engineer. But it wasn’t enough. Winemaking’s in Moe’s blood – his grandfather grew grapes and his father quietly crafted homemade wine in the family’s basement. So after saving up for a decade, Moe finally purchased a winery and planted his own vines, a move that’s paid off deliciously.

Today, the Momtazi family estate is among the most renowned properties in Oregon’s premium Willamette Valley. The grapes for this gorgeous Pinot Noir were grown during the stellar 2016 vintage and hand-harvested from the 100% biodynamic vineyards. This site yields such quality fruit that other wineries buy from it to produce their top cuvées.

Patient aging in fine French oak barrels completes the picture and imparts sandalwood spice notes to the juicy-ripe, red-berry flavors. With its soft tannins and smooth, zippy, fruit-driven finish, this elegant Pinot Noir will be enjoyable on its own or with a variety of dishes (we suggest lamb shanks or roasted duck).

Moe crafted this special Pinot just for our customers, and we have very limited cases to share.
