We melded the passion of our Italian heritage and love of wine into an Italian-style red blend with estate-grown Teroldego, Lagrein & Pinot Noir, blended with Washington-sourced Nebbiolo & Sangiovese.
Sourced from the amazing Tidalstar Vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, this Pinot Noir presents darker fruit flavors and aromas mixing with hints of coffee and baking spice, all presented with age-worth structure.
Aromas of pomegranate and sweet cranberries are met with vanilla and mocha for a fruit-filled and luxurious palate. This northern Italian varietal grown on our estate is approachable, decadent and bright.
Rudy describes Montinore Estate’s Nebbiolo as “a Pacific Northwest wine that speaks Italian.” The 2016 Nebbiolo is a nod to the roots we cultivate along with Rudy's family and their Italian roots.
Our Oregon version of an Italian red blend, we've married 34% Lagrein, 27% Sangiovese, 16% Nebbiolo and 13% Teroldego with 10% Pinot Noir to create this smooth, delicious, extremely food-friendly wine.
LIBRARY SELECTION: Savory herbal flavors intermingle with a deeper version of Parsons’ customary Bing cherry. Chocolate and tobacco notes will increase over time as the fruit recedes a bit.
Fruit hailing from Block 1, which is named for the cataclysmic Missoula Floods. Aromas of marionberry, Bing cherry and black currant mingle with fresh earth, wet stone, sage and baking spice. Robust and savory.
Graham's Block 7 is our oldest block in the vineyard. A beautiful blend of Pommard and Wadenswil clones, the wine is intense and red-fruit focused. The 2015 vintage was warm, and the wine is balanced and expressive.
Planted with 100% Pommard clone and one of the oldest plantings on the estate, the Parsons’ Ridge block always produces wines of complexity and character. This wine is nicely balanced with plenty of fruit and spice.
