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 biodynamic in 2008.
