2016 Asha Pinot Noir

Asha is an ancient Persian word describing one who has a clean conscience for good thoughts, words, and deeds with a pure demeanor and performance. A bejeweled glassful of garnets, Asha snakes onto your palate with Amarena cherries, clove, and a tantalizing wisp of distant campfire. Elegant, slippery tannins sway to a tune played on vanilla violins.

2016 Vintage 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.

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.
