2005 Delara Pinot Noir
Delara is a Persian word that translates as captures one's heart, which of course is always our goal. Delara's brilliant dark ruby color is a backdrop for aromas of red raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, and rose petals with a hint of soy sauce and light mocha. Elegant layers of dark chocolate, black cherries, and plums are all balanced by smooth, round fine-grained tannins for a soft lingering finish.

The Momtazis believe in holding vintages until the wine is fully evolved, rather than releasing chronologically. Each vintage is unique and should mature on its own timeline.
