Montinore Estate, Willamette Valley (Oregon) Pinot Noir 2017

May 7, 2019

By Jessica Dupuy

 Noted for a commitment to responsible and sustainable vineyard management, Montinore has a range of organic and biodynamic offerings.  This Pinot blend includes three clonal varieties including Pommard, Wädenswil, and Dijon clones.  It was aged for months in both French and Hungarian barrels (20% new.)  Rich and savory with pronounced ripe notes of black cherry and red currant, this wine is beautifully aromatic.  Earthy notes coat the palate followed by lush plum, cranberry, and cocoa.  The finish is soft and bright. A perfect wine for Taiwanese Three Cup Mushroom.
