From the amazing biodynamic vineyard, Momtazi, which has produced literally scores of mid to high-90s Pinots that sell from $50 to over $150, and which many of Oregon’s top wineries fight over.
As Day Wines explains:
One of the great under-rated sites in Willamette, Momtazi is a biodynamically certified vineyard nestled in the foothills of the Coast Range in the McMinnville AVA. The soils are composed primarily of uplifted marine sedimentary loams and silts, with alluvial overlays and an underlying base of volcanic basalt. We are always thrilled to work with this fruit, as it's some of the most coveted in in the Valley. Many people wish they could get their hands on it, and we're fortunate that we do.
Compared to our Less Traveled Pinot Noir, this one is a bit more immediately rich and full, and seems a bit riper and rounder, if not quite so intense or complex. It’s really, really delicious.
The Wine Enthusiast rated the 2016 outstanding, but this 2017 (their current release) is even better.
