Momtazi Family Estate Pinot Noir 2017 (12 bottles)

Oregon’s Willamette Valley is home to some of America’s (and the world’s) finest Pinot. Hailing from the Momtazi family’s biodynamically farmed vineyard, this perfectly mature 2017 is elegant, complex and rivals Burgundy costing three times as much.

Notoriously challenging to work with, Pinot Noir succeeds in relatively few places around the world. Burgundy, France is one of them. Oregon’s Willamette Valley is another. And some of the best from the latter are undoubtedly the bottlings of Moe Momtazi and his family, who were pioneers of the area.

Their story begins in their home country of Iran, in the late 1970s. Flora, Moe’s wife, was eight months pregnant when revolution broke out, and they knew it was not a place they wanted to start a family. They chose to flee, escaping through the mountains of Pakistan via motorcycle and eventually landing in Texas, where they asked for political asylum.

Moe, an engineer by trade, established a successful engineering company. But in 1990, they moved to Oregon, and he felt a pull to pursue his true calling—sustainable farming. Seven years later, they purchased 496 acres on which to plant vineyards, raise a farm and build a winery. 

“This has always been my passion ever since childhood, to grow things holistically,” says Moe, who, at a young age, would watch his grandfather care for tea leaves and remembers his father making wine in their basement. 

Today, he, Flora and their three daughters farm biodynamically, and intervene as little as possible when making their wine. “We don't adjust or add, we don’t use enzymes or yeast; it’s all done naturally,” he says. “It takes our wines a little longer to evolve, but when they do, they can age for a long time.” 

Their 2017 Pinot Noir is a model of balance, with a beautiful tension of power, freshness and elegance. It’s just now entering its peak drinking window. Look forward to notes of black cherry and pomegranate, hints of white pepper and an earthy undertone that mirrors the finest Burgundy.
