Seufert Momtazi Pinot Noir wins Gold Medal…

At the 2008 Oregon Seafood and Wine Festival.

We were honored to be the only Pinot Noir to win a gold medal at this recent Portland festival. As a result, it seemed like everyone at the festival wanted to sample (and purchase) this wine. It was busy, but fun.

If we had known the results before showing up, we would have brought enough wine to last through the festival. Unfortunately, we ran out part way through Saturday. Apologies go out to those that missed sampling this popular wine.

This wine is made from Certified Biodynamic grapes, and partly due to that fact, it has been selected for the February 2008 shipment in Portland’s own Pure Vine Wines Biodynamic and Organic Wine of the Month Club.

Here’s their review:

“This is a big style pinot….. rich, with dark cherry fruit, a dash of spice, and soft, lush tannins. The finish is long and lingering, showing a respectable alcohol level at 14.5%, yet elegantly balanced. Great with a big carnivorous meal, but it would also stand well on its own.”
