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.

92 Points, James Suckling
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.
91 Points, Wine Spectator
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
