* Color leaned closer to Momtazi but was vibrant throughout * All that forest floor, dry leaves and tobacco of the Momtazi is right there on the nose * The juicier cranberry, young mountain fruits of the Chehalem hits you on the palate * Very smooth wine- maybe the smoothest mouthfeel of all the wines * Low tannins; Medium+ acidity * Very pleasant finish that was a really nice way to wrap up tasting thru the wines

* At initial pop this had a very faint nose, as it sat in the glass over 90 or so minutes the nose began to flourish into a very nice fruit forward classic Pinot Noir cherry nose. This nose stayed thru up to three days later * I pretty quickly thought this wine was the highest alcohol of the group and wouldn’t be surprised if the alcohol was a little higher than 14.4 on the bottle * Dark red nearly magenta color * Lots of dark red fruit on this wine. Dark, black cherries was the main fruit for me. While not intended to be a detriment, there were some cherry cough syrup notes on this bottle for me * Some notes of roasted beets or root vegetables as the wine finished * Acid was medium while the tannins seemed low * Medium body with a long finish * Overall a well balanced wine that stood out as the most powerful of the package that would stand up against a hearty winter meal
