Staff Pick Notes

Established 1982 in the Northern Willamette Valley, Montinore Estate is the second largest biodynamic wine producer in the country. Indeed, this is a massive estate with 200 acres--all certified organic and biodynamic since 2008. The goal for President Rudy Marchesi is to run a fully organic estate, creating healthy wine that not only respects the environment but also shows complexity and reflects the land. The Montinore Pinot Noir 2015 is a great example of a classic Burgundy style wine made in Oregon. A medium-bodied wine with good acidity and light tannins.

Willamette Valley

Bounded roughly by the cities of Portland in the north and Eugene in the south, the near-idyllic wine growing region is cradled between the Cascade Mountain Range on its east side and the Coastal Range to the west, and produces some of America's most sublime expressions of...

Oregon

The largest wine region in Oregon is the Willamette Valley, lying between the cities of Portland and Eugene and home to most of Oregon’s wineries. As it does not have one homogeneous climate, it has been broken up into several different AVAs. In the best of them, the perfect amounts of wind, rain, sun exposure, and altitude combine to give Pinot Noir the warm days and cool nights it needs in order to thrive. Combine that with good drainage and poor soils, and you’ve got the perfect environment...
