I have written a lot on visiting the Maysara winery on this blog already, so I should put my money where my mouth is and actually review some wines. Where better to start?
This first review is dedicated to Maysara's reserve wine, called "Asha."
There are many ways to explain Asha. It's definition takes on many forms. So many, that it cannot be translated into a single word, but to give you an idea, you can think of it as a "true statement."
This wine is a little closed off at first, meaning the aromas are left to be desired, but after about 45 minutes of having the bottle open, the aromas let loose and are powerful. Cherries and flowers lead the way with a hint of cedar-box. This makes for a great setup to taste.
Unctuous fruit overflows out of the glass and onto your palate. I mean, this is big for a Pinot Noir and it is absolutely delicious, having great balance, good acidity and subtle power. Overall, this wine is a "true statement" of how delicious Oregon Pinot can be.
Highly Recommended
