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.

91 Points, James Suckling
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.
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.
92 Points, Vinous – 92 Points, James Suckling – 91 Points, Wine & Spirits
“The 2021 Malbec Reserva, from Vistalba, Lujan de Cuyo, was 60% aged in barrels for 12 months. Purple in color. The nose presents notes of fresh plum and violets, white pepper, strawberry, hints of spice and aromas from the aging process. It’s initially indulgent in the mouth, with good fat, and volume and a velvety texture. The flavors are bold and full-bodied. This 2021 overdelivers at the price.” -Vinous
90 Points, Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
Xavier Vignon’s brand spanking new CDR 100% is a thing of beauty. It’s already got a blessing from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate who described this wine as, “Full-bodied, concentrated and supple”. This is a gorgeous and intricate blend that features all of the Southern Rhone appellations. This year, the blend was 40% Grenache, 25% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah, 7% Cinsault, 7% Marselan, 6% Terret Noir. Nobody can do it like the mad scientist, Xavier Vignon.
