St. Innocent Willamette Valley McMinnville Pinot Noir Momtazi Vineyard 2021

$5499

The Momtazi Vineyard Pinot Noir stands out as the most textural and umami-driven offering in the portfolio, showcasing a profound expression of its unique biodynamic terroir. The wine opens with a complex, highly expressive bouquet of exotic spice, smoky earth, and concentrated dried black fruit, underscored by a signature crushed-rock minerality. On the mid-palate, it displays remarkable elegance and precise balance, where fine-grained, savory tannins seamlessly carry the dark fruit into an expansive, blossoming finish of lifted florals and dark cocoa powder. Boasting excellent structural tension and age-worthy acidity, this deeply layered bottling pairs beautifully with hearty winter stews, roasted vegetables, rich mushroom dishes, and classic French cassoulet.

Antonio Galloni

"The 2021 Pinot Noir Momtazi Vineyard shows the dark nature of the variety, mixing depths of crushed blackberry with hints of pine, rosemary and dusty earth. This is model of elegance on the palate, velvety in texture yet lifted in feel, with silken wild berry fruits and minty herb tones neatly balanced by cool-toned acidity. Notes of blood orange emerge toward the close as the Momtazi finishes tannic and crunchy in feel, leaving the mouth watering for more." —Eric Guido

"If you love ripe blackberries, you will fall head over heels for the way this wine smells. The berries are joined by aromas of cherry blossoms, wet stones and a touch of seared steak. There's balance here, with silky tannins and snappy acidity backing flavors like blackcap raspberries, orange zest and cedarwood." —Michael Alberty
