Montinore Estate
Borealis The Northern Whites Willamette Valley Müller-Thurgau Blend
Willamette Valley, Oregon, USA
One of the most underrated whites coming out of Oregon. All Biodynamic. Great aromatics, with a pinch of sweetness. Very versatile wine.

Absolutely loved the 2013 but the 2014 is also a steal at 14 bucks. Great body and zippy acid. This is a super food wine.

Pear, apple, pithy lemon, lychee, limestone and hints of butterscotch. Good acidity and balance.

Flowers and baking spices on the nose. Yellow delicious apples, honey and cinnamon bread on the pallet. A little sweetness. Kind of tastes like a dry mead wine without the viscosity. A good compliment to spicy fare that requires a white wine. The Gewurtz shines through.

About as average as it gets. Preferred more dominate gewurztraminer blends for spicy dishes. This was more like a decent, sweetish white table wine - as appropriately named.

Sep 11th, 2016Love this wine! The floral notes and fruity taste make a great wine for a hot summer day. Just found again after 5 years of looking for it. Hurricane Sandy knocked out the jersey shore distributors for Montinore and made it impossible to find. This is a welcome addition to my collection.

Sweet, yet crisp. Refreshing, highly drinkable. Apple/pear.
