2015 Delara Pinot Noir
Creamy, dark cocoa slides through the initial impression. Firm, chewy, and still youthful tannins provide a good grip on the mountain of fruit at the core of this wine. Teases of inviting, roasted coffee flutter at the edges, but don’t dare get in front of the relentless black cherry parade. This wine is drinking beautifully now, but its best is still in front of it.

Tasting Notes
Delara is a Persian word that translates as "to capture one's heart"
Complexity abounds with a melange of red and black fruits and a seductively earthy tone. Dried flowers, black tea, mushroom, and forest floor dance with lifted acidity and a hint of citrus, making this a special wine that always marks the occasion.

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.
