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.

With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
At J Vineyards, Nicole is nothing short of a magician, making 30 different skus or more each vintage between her Pinots, Chardonnays, and Sparkling wines. For the vineyard’s flagship Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, up to 100 individual small lots are combined to make this great wine. Somehow, the blend is effortless–a quintessential RRV Pinot that has those soaring aromatics, bright red fruits, clove, and nutmeg spice with perfect balance.
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.

The oft 100-point winemaker, Jayson Woodbridge had this to say when tasting his 2021 ‘Stargazing’ Sonoma Pinot: “The wine is vibrant and complex with subtle dark fruits and berries, grandmother’s cherry pie, minerals, and a slight touch of rain-soaked earth, intertwined with a balance and very pleasing easy-going luxury. Should have been priced higher but what the hell.” I have no doubt this clerical error will be addressed in the vintages moving forward. But for now, this is a cult Pinot for under $100/bottle.
