Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
A gorgeously balanced symphony of luscious baked sour cherries, orange zest, clove, and campfire leap from the glass, making it impossible not to dive in. Pretty floral character persists, leading you to the depths of crushed gravel and earth. Bright, juicy acidity buoys the palate, with a finish that sails on and on.

the true expression of our land and
conveying it to you through the premium
quality found in every bottle. We practice

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.
