About Us
After many years in the corporate world living on three continents we “retired” to our original home in Oregon in the middle of the Willamette Valley in 2007. We launched Monte Ferro in 2009 and are focused on the production of small quantities of well-made cool climate Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Oregon vineyards and full bodied Syrah from the warmer Columbia River Valley of Washington. It is our desire to marry the best fruit selected for “terroir” and sound agricultural practices with the skill of the best winemakers in Oregon to produce world class wines.
We are producers of less than 500 cases of wine per year. This allows us to source the best fruit from select vineyards that are salmon safe and follow low impact viticultural practices. Our labels are vineyard specific to enable us to give credit where it is due.
We regularly submit our wines for public review and have won awards from Sunset, the San Francisco Chronicle, and received very favorable reviews in many northwest wine publications. We are not hung up about the usual scores as we are too small for most of the big names to even consider reviewing them due to our limited distribution. We prefer that you score them.
We sell exclusively direct-to-consumer, ensuring a personal connection with every customer. By partnering with Vinoshipper, we make it easy to ship our wines directly to your door. If you love our wines and want to save money, consider joining our wine club today!
We donate 10% of our profits to charity annually.
Wishing you Joy at your table,
Bob and Mignon Ervin
