The Montinore Estate Red Cap Pinot Noir is a true reflection of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, crafted with biodynamic and organic farming practices to highlight the purity of fruit and terroir-driven complexity. Aged in French oak barrels, this Pinot Noir offers a vibrant yet layered experience, balancing fruit, earth, and spice with refined structure and acidity.
Initial aromas of red currant, glacé cherry, and ripe tomato lead into deeper notes of freshly tilled earth, tobacco, and pencil shavings, adding an intriguing rustic character. The palate opens soft and approachable, yet surprises with rich density that contrasts its bright acidity. Flavors of marionberry, black raspberry, and cocoa powder unfold seamlessly, supported by beautifully integrated tannins. A medium-length finish lingers with a touch of salinity on the back palate, leaving a refined and satisfying impression.
This refined yet complex Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, grilled salmon, mushroom risotto, and soft cheeses. Its acidity and structure make it a perfect companion for both light and rich dishes.
Whether enjoyed on its own, paired with a meal, or aged for future enjoyment, the Montinore Estate Red Cap Pinot Noir showcases the elegance and depth that define Willamette Valley Pinot Noir.
