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.
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
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.
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 2016 vintage brings red fruit, cola and a hint of spice on the palate.
LIBRARY SELECTION: The powerful fruit and structure of the 2012 vintage makes this the most muscular version of Cataclysm we've produced with a concentrated character and richness on the palate from a warm and dry vintage.
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.
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.
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: 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.
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.
