Introducing Our Big Believer Cab & Red Blend

Posted by annafrizzell on

Two new wines have been added to the Portlandia family!

Introducing our … Big Believer Cabernet Sauvignon & Red Blend!

Big Believer Cabernet Sauvignon

Sourced from world class vineyards in the Wahluke Slope region of Columbia Valley, this is a bold Cabernet that believers, skeptics and Sasquatch himself will love! Aromas of blackberry, vanilla and coffee are followed by layered flavors of black cherry, dark plum and sweet spices. Structured by fine, firm tannins and well integrated acidity, we love to pair this food friendly wine with grilled beef or portabella mushroom dishes.

Red Blend

Made of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon and 41% Syrah, this is a juicy red blend from the Columbia Valley’s Horse Heaven Hills and Wahluke Slope regions. Aromas of raspberry, black currant and mocha lead into flavors of black cherry, huckleberry and dark chocolate. Rich and fruit forward, this red blend pairs perfectly with BBQ ribs or grilled peach salad.

Paul Gregutt reviews Oregon wines for Wine Enthusiast magazine and has been very consistent in his reviews of our Pinot Gris—awarding it three consecutive 90+ point scores. The full review will be released in the January edition of Wine Enthusiast magazine.

Releasing our 2016 Momtazi Pinot with 92 points from the Wine Enthusiast!

Posted by portlandia on

We’re excited to be releasing our 2016 vintage of Momtazi Pinot Noir with another great score from the Wine Enthusiast. Just 300 cases were made, so get your hands on some while you can!

“Potent flavors of marionberry pie topped with cherry-vanilla ice cream somehow work well here. They are firmly backed with proportionate acids and tannins, and the vineyard’s biodynamic grapes bring extra texture, along with hints of clean earth, tobacco and nutmeg.” – Paul Gregutt

We sourced 100% of this Pinot Noir fruit from the Momtazi family’s organic and biodynamic vineyard south of McMinnville, OR.
