Maysara Jamsheed Pinot Noir
Maysara
United States - Oregon - Willamette Valley

Story of Jamsheed
According to ancient Persian legend, King Jamsheed was able to observe his entire realm by peering into his full wine goblet.

Many think that 2015 is the best year Oregon has had in a long time. If you’re looking to age wines, 2015 is a great choice to start buying up and holding for a long time to come. Pretty fruits, the Oregon earthiness you’ve grown to know and love come together in harmony with a wine that is fit for any
occasion.

This approachable Pinot covers all the bases. Plenty of generous fruit, with black cherry, raspberry, blackberry, plum, and black currant, play beautifully with its slightly more serious side of sweet smoke, forest floor, and cracked black pepper. Well-integrated fine tannins and a long finish make this the ideal dinner party wine.

wine and spirits logo 250"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."

jeb dunnuck logo 250"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."

wine enthusiast 91 pts"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"

wine enthusiast 88 pts"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."

wa88"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."
