  PnP. Cherry, strawberry, raspberry, some underlying earthy notes as well. Really good acidity (medium+). The fruit is really pure, but it's starting to get some secondary notes to it. Really elegant and refined with terrific balance. Momtazi tends to have a bigger, brawnier character, but this still is really elegant, lean, and lithe. But it has an understated power under that leaner profile. Terrific wine. One more left but no rush to drink. This should drink well through 2027 and likely a few years longer.

  Somewhat tart red berries coupled with copious forest floor. Exhibiting a somewhat delicate fruit profile, it nonetheless displayed enough weight and viscosity to lift it out of the lightweight class and into the welterweight class (pinot adjusted). A proper pinot that represents good value for the money.

  Beautiful vivd red color. Structure and acidity is quite prominent, but fresh, and refined enough this is accessible now. Some light red fruit notes. Elegant and fresh—less forward than Mirabai.

  Really enjoy the style from this producer. Quite primary at first pour, it gains complexity with some air. On the palate, a pretty feminine style with excellent minerality and a lifting, gossamer lightness. I agree with a previous reviewer in that it reminds me of Volnay, perhaps from one of the more graceful drinking vintages of the 90s. Quality and style from an Oregon producer, quite fine indeed.

  Much like my last bottle. Bright, translucent cherry red in color. A light, raspberry nose. Lovely, delicate fruit, strawberry and raspberry. Fine tannins, lovely acidity, great balance. Finishes long and delicate. A bright and lovely wine, if not very complex. I'd drink these over the next 3 to 4 years (and enjoy them).
