"The 2014 Pinot Noir Jamsheed has a better bouquet than the 2013 with more red and black fruit developing in the glass, hints of melted tar and undergrowth emerging with a few swirls of the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red berry fruit, decent weight in the mouth with a well-defined finish. This is good value Pinot Noir to enjoy over the next 3-5 years."

"This biodynamic grower and producer makes distinctive wines that require a bit of a palate adjustment for some tasters. Here, there are some funky earthy aromas suggesting compost and barnyard, with flavors following. There is little of the fresh bright fruit flavors one might associate more commonly with Oregon Pinots, but plenty of complexity, length and a light touch of new French oak."

"Sleek, elegant and complex, with violet and cherry aromas that lead to spry raspberry, black tea and spice flavors. Drink now through 2020. 5,000 cases made. –TF"

"Maysara's owners believe in holding vintages until wines are fully evolved rather than releasing them chronologically. So this is the current vintage as of early 2022. It's taking on sunset hues around the edges, and it's soft and smooth on the palate. To find a well-stored, well-aged Pinot from this outstanding vintage at this price is rare indeed. Spicy strawberry fruit and leaf flavors, light tannins and firm acids keep it fresh and lively. - Paul GREGUTT"

"A blend from all the different types of elevation sites, clones, and soils, the 2015 Pinot Noir Jamsheed pours a medium pristine ruby and jumps from the glass with poppy notes of mixed red fruits, raspberry coulis, candied roses, spice, and cardamom. The palate is elegant and silky in texture, with medium body, fine tannins, and a long, clean finish. It’s an expressive and impressive entry to Maysara’s Pinot Noir."

"Lovely aromas of ripe red fruit, dark chocolate and rosemary. Medium-bodied with soft, powdery tannins. Bright acidity and juicy red fruit are complimented by white pepper and thyme. From biodynamically grown grapes with Demeter certification. Drink now. Screw cap."

"All umami at this stage in its life, this wine leads with tobacco and mushroom scents, following up with background notes of pine tips and cedar. The wine’s elegance is quietly attractive, with smooth tannins for a truffled mushroom pasta."
