If you haven’t yet gotten your hands on some 2019 Oregon Pinot, holy smokes you’re missing out. I’m telling you I must’ve tried 15-20 of them now, and maybe one or two weren’t good. The rest are lights out.
Oregonians aren’t big on hyperbole, but if you listen to winemakers talk about the vintage, many will tell you it’s one of if not the best in their tenures. Those are just the facts. And while 2008, 2012, and even 2015 helped get Oregon to where they are on the world stage today, I believe the 2019 will launch them into a new stratosphere, leaving behind most every other domestic Pinot Noir not coming out of the Sonoma Coast or Sta. Rita Hills.
Owner and winemaker Jim Prosser has spent time in Burgundy, Australia and the Willamette Valley perfecting his craft and he seems to have really found something in Newberg, Oregon – right in the thick of Pinot Noir country. His 2019 Provocateur is a standout that has wowed folks on both coasts. First Marea took the lion’s share for their by-the-glass program, then James Suckling came in with a 91-point review. This is a beaut.

Lots of dried flowers and herbs on the nose, as well as wild raspberries, toasted citrus peel and cedar. It’s medium-bodied with sleek tannins and lively acidity. Tight and spicy with well-integrated toasty notes and a zesty finish. Drink now or hold.

Not Eligible for Futher Discount-From famed winemaker, Robert Foley comes an absolute delight of a bottle of wine. A seamless Bordeaux blend of 80% Cabernet, 17% Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot that is incredibly smoothly now but should have another decade easy of prime drinking. It is the definition of a Saturday Night bottle of wine. One to cherish for a special occasion.

“The 2018 Palmer is a legend in the making…This audacious Palmer was still revving its engines 48 hours after opening. There will never be another Palmer like this, sui generis. It was a massive risk. But by throwing caution to the wind, something extraordinary was born.” -100 points, Vinous

“Vignon’s 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape delivers even more than I hoped for based on a previous sample. Hints of garrigue, roses, cherries and raspberries appear on the nose, while the palate is full-bodied, silky and long, with an intense, almost briny finish. The assemblage is 50% Grenache, 10% each Mourvèdre and Syrah, plus smaller proportions of seven other permitted varieties, while the élevage includes foudres, demi-muids, concrete and wooden tanks, plus terracotta amphorae.”
This is a sensational single-vineyard Merlot made from incredibly tiny clusters, full of some of the most elegant, intensely structured fruit from high atop Sonoma Mountain. Beautiful weight and balance with aromas of blueberries, black currants, sage and a hint of cocoa. It’s got a full, plush mouthfeel, pristine and vibrant fruit and a wonderful smooth finish. Thanks to Chad’s big bet on himself, he was able to make a knockout Sonoma Mountain beauty, without the need for any middleman, helping us to enjoy one of his best creations at an outstanding price.
