The 2019 vintage in Oregon is widely considered one of the greatest vintages ever. It really had it all. It was a bountiful harvest, with a totally easy, even growing season, no early fall rain and the fruit brought in was healthy and concentrated, showcasing the finest Pinots many folks ever made.
You may remember the 2019 Domaine Drouhin, the Composition or the Chad Pinot (our highest ever rated Chad Pinot in the history of Nicholas Wines), or maybe Lemelson, Bergstrom, Resonance or Adelsheim.
What I’m trying to say is every single 2019 Oregon Pinot I had was excellent… so we went all in on the vintage.
And the wines were so good to us – people couldn’t get enough. The allocations flew.
Luckily, I secured one of the very last great 2019 bottlings made – and from a terrific winery in the northern Willamette Valley, Montinore.
There’s not a whole lot of wineries tucked away in the pocket of the Willamette where Montinore is. Really it’s just them and Elk Cove up here leading the way. But ever since the early 1980’s Rudi Marchesi has made sure that people who come to visit Oregon’s greatest wineries, don’t miss a trip up to Forest Grove to find some of the best Pinots in the state.

Super spicy cherries with spiced-biscuit complexity. The palate has a very smooth-honed core of bright, vibrant dark berries and cherries with silky tannin texture. Drink or hold.

A handsome Pinot, with generous cherry and cranberry flavors that mingle with green tea and savory spices. Ends with refined tannins. Drink now through 2029.

The secret to Philippe’s tightly wound, complex Pinot Noir is a combo of ancient vines, natural farming techniques, and low yields. The wines are built to age, with incredible tension and length. And the secret to me securing his other-wordly 2017 old-vine Gevry-Chambertin can be chalked up to a great relationship and over a decade supporting superior Burgundian winemaking. The wine is scary good. The nose is wild, filled with spiced dark raspberries, red flowers, and baking spices. The palate is elegant and racy, with a dynamic tension that runs right through its minute-long finish. This is a high-toned, wound-up Pinot, that is starting to hit its prime and is really turning out to be a ‘must-have’ for true Burgundy lovers.

“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.”
This is Joe Wagner and Quilt’s inaugural Red blend called Threadcount. It is a total knockout at the price point for this style of wine. It’s a big voluptuous wine and very fruit forward. The nose is straight up dark chocolate dipped raspberries and it tastes of fresh-baked blueberry pie, spice, and a touch of toffee. It’s the kind of quality blend that you’ve come to expect from the family behind Caymus.

“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
