Narrative:
Being radar vectored for ILS 14 into medford VMC night. We could see mountain peaks with snow below us. At 11;000 ft. About 15 northeast of oed we got a 'terrain pull up'. Conducted CFIT maneuver and climbed to 12000 feet. Notified ATC that we climbed and he was okay. We had no other indications on mfd - no terrain pixels or pfd warnings just an aural warning. The warning only lasted a brief second [and] as soon as I responded the warning went away. Did not see radio altimeter. First officer stated his was at 1;700 ft. Highest MSA around oed in northeast quadrant was 10;700 ft. We verified altimeter setting with ATC and we had it set correctly.
