Staff Pick Notes

One of my favorite Pinot Noirs in the store, regardless of country of origin. Oregon's own Montinore are longtime practitioners of organic and biodynamic farming and sustainable winemaking. Every last one of their wines is food friendly, delicious, and a good buy. Year after year, their Reserve Pinot Noir is a hallmark of consistency and excellence, and never lets me down. Balanced and integrated red cherry fruit, black pepper spice, woodsy earthiness, and subtle gamey and savory notes intermingle in perfect harmony. Perfect for a Thanksgiving Thursday or any old Tuesday, it's a smooth and elegant Willamette Pinot Noir that will never disappoint.

Glossary

Pinot Noir

Willamette Valley

Perhaps the most familiar wine producing region in Oregon, the Willamette Valley is actually a group of distinct AVA's (American Viticultural Areas).

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...
