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.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.
