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.
Sangiovese is the primary grape variety used in Chianti. We love working with this fruit sourced from a notable growing site in Washington to create our own interpretation of an Italian favorite.
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.

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.
An intriguing array of fruit-driven aromas and an equally fruit-filled and zesty palate characterize this unusual northern Italian varietal. Grown on our estate, this is an approachable and interestingly delicious wine.
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.
Crafted from Block 1 fruit and named for the road that runs adjacent to this section of the vineyard, this is a very lovely, easy-sipping Pinot Noir that offers layers and complexity with a long finish
Crafted from a curated barrel selection from the best vineyard sites each year. The blocks are fermented and aged separately, and then assembled after maturation to create a wine worthy of the "reserve" distinction.
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.
