West Mount

West Mount is a wine producer in the Willamette Valley, co-founded by Laurent Montalieu, its executive winemaker, and Robert Moshier, its chief operating officer. On the winemaking team, Anne Sery serves as director of winemaking and Brian Irvine as winemaker.

Its namesake vineyard has more than 100 planted acres and over 110,000 vines, with soils of alluvial clay and glaciatic silt. West Mount makes wine from Pinot Noir clones 23, 113, 115 and 777, and Pinot Gris clones 3, 146 and 152. During fermentation, daily tastings and laboratory analysis guide monitoring, with the aim of intervening as little as possible and allowing nature to take its course.
