Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
As seen throughout our wines, the elegance of our Momtazi Vineyard is reflected in both the depth and richness of its color. Mitra's mahogany red hue serves as a backdrop of tantalizing aroma of dark cherries and supple spices. Regal, stately concentration and leathery tannins lay a foundation for a dark cocoa finish with hints of coffee, black cherry, and peppery spices.

Other Notes
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.
