The cherry red 2007 Pinot Noir Jamsheed Momtazi Vineyard offers up an attractive perfume of toast, cranberry, and raspberry. This is followed by an elegant Pinot with a smooth texture, sweet fruit, light tannin, and a medium-length finish. It will drink well over the next 6 years. Tel. (503) 843-1234; www.maysara.com

The 2007 vintage splits down the middle in Oregon; some producers managed it well; others seemed to struggle. This Jamsheed is a pale reflection of the winery’s 2006; thin with herb and leaf, stem and sour fruits.——P.G.(12/15/2009)—— 84
