Established in the early 1900's by Montana transplants and dubbed Montinore (Montana-in-Oregon), the winery (est. 1982) was one of Oregon's largest by the mid-'90's. Everything changed with current owner Rudy Marchesi's involvement. Production was cut and the quality was enhanced. Organic since 2001, they were Demeter certified in 2008 and are now the largest single US producer of biodynamic grapes.
