Back in
Oregon! This time in McMinnville AVA. Maysara is a relatively large (more than
250 acres) Demeter certified biodynamic wine producer which was founded in 2001
by the Momtazi family. The Jamsheed Pinot Noir, named after an ancient Persian
king, is a selection of the Momtazi Estate vineyard (mainly Pommard, and a few
Dijon, clones).
This time I
can spare a lot of words, because this wine appeared to be rather easily accessible,
well made, very clean and very fruitful. Simply good, however not really highly
complex. But I did not have any problems with this limited sophistication. The
fruit impression was so intoxicating and “soul supporting”. I never felt any
need for more. Compared to the other Oregon Pinot I had so far on the blog once
more a totally different style of Pinot Noir. The colour was pretty dark and
very vibrant. The nose full of dark forest berries like cassis and even some
brambles. I did not really get a distinct impression of the classical “Oregon
funk”. Not so many autumn’ish features either. Just wonderfully balanced and
clear clean fruit. The same counts for the taste. Very sincerely fruitful
characteristics, very juicy, a bit spicy-peppery, rather lean bodied, pretty
serious without being top-heavy and well “infused” with a perfectly and lively
acid. This Pinot is just great to relax your brain and surrender to enjoyment!
