The Reserve Pinot is 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.
Aromas of pomegranate and sweet cranberries are met with vanilla and mocha for an equally fruit-filled and luxurious palate. This northern Italian varietal grown on our estate is an approachable, decadent and bright 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.
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.
Scents of cherry, mushroom and cedar, with hints of tobacco and cocoa nibs coming through slightly. Savory herbs intermingle with a slightly darker version of Parsons’ customary Bing cherry.
The Parsons' Ridge site is on a saddle of the vineyard where the Pinot Noir vines face two directions, resulting in numerous expressions of the grapes. We ferment lots separately then finesse and blend for the final wine.
LIBRARY SELECTION: Savory herbal flavors, notably sage, 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.

LIBRARY SELECTION: A great example of Pinot from the northwestern Willamette Valley. The garnet color introduces a bright aroma of raspberry, black cherry and cedar with hints of spice, sandalwood and dried cherry.
