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.

“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

“The 2020 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is truly sensational. It begins with striking aromas of fresh blackberries, blueberries and dark plums that are laced with fresh spring florals, mocha, sweet exotic spices, graphite and gravel nuances all taking shape. The palate is full-bodied and displays a remarkable combination of power and elegance throughout. This is beautifully structured and extremely expressive, as it possesses outstanding depth and concentration all they way through the long, finessed finish. Year after year, the Columbia Valley Cabernet is one of the most impressive wines, and there is no exception here, as it combines all the wonderful qualities of the 2020 vintage from Quilceda Creek into one expression. This is fantastic already and readers will be in for a real treat, as this simply marvelous wine will continue to deliver the goods for years to come.”

“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.”
It’s always nice to be in good standing with one of the most beloved wine brands in America! These won’t last long! This is an opulent, powerful dark-fruited Cabernet with tightly woven tannins, that is just raring and ready to go. Textbook, full-bodied, revved up and ready to go, this new Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet is the definition of a crowd pleaser.
