Montinore Estate Red Cap Pinot Noir Willamette Valley 750ml

Red Cap is Montinore Estate's Willamette Valley Pinot Noir, named for its red screw cap. The estate sits near Forest Grove, Oregon; its vines were first planted in 1982, Rudy Marchesi bought it in 2005, and Stephen Webber is head winemaker.

The 200-acre estate vineyard is Demeter Certified Biodynamic and CCOF Certified Organic. Recent releases blend biodynamically farmed fruit from the Montinore Estate Vineyard in the Tualatin Hills AVA with the Tidalstar Vineyard in Yamhill-Carlton, bought by the family in 2019.

Raspberry, black cherry, red currant, eucalyptus and fresh tobacco lead to a mid-weight, smooth palate of cherry, cranberry and plum, with a hint of chocolate, star anise and toasted earth.

Next to Meiomi Pinot Noir, Red Cap is the earthier, estate-farmed Oregon choice; for biodynamic Willamette fruit, choose Red Cap.

Serve it slightly cool, around 60°F, with salmon, roast chicken or mushroom dishes; the earthy notes pick up mushrooms especially well.
