The 2006 Pinot Noir Delara is a barrel selection of which 16 were chosen with 56% of the oak being new. Dark ruby-colored, the wine has an enticing nose of black cherry, black raspberry, pain grille, mineral, and spice box. This leads to a layered wine with plump, savory fruit, some structure, good concentration, and excellent length. Give it 3-4 years to evolve and drink it from 2012 to 2021. Maysara Winery began in 1997 when Mo Momtazi purchased his McMinnville vineyard. There are now 225 acres planted and certified biodynamic. The winery’s first vintage was 2001. Currently 8000 cases are produced with Mo’s daughter, Tahmiene, serving as winemaker. Tel. (503) 843-1234; www.maysara.com
