Our 2019 Mount Richmond Pinot Noir has a “generous stream of red and blue fruit melds with mocha, fig preserves, and nutmeg for an elegantly appointed mouthfeel.”
Elk Cove 2018 Mount Richmond Pinot Noir “brings aromas of ripe cherry, plum, hints of pepper and earthiness, tasting of luscious dark cherry, blackberry, baking spice, ripe figs, with earthiness and silky tannins.”
“The whole cluster press of this wine results in bright fruit aromas and flavors of pear, apricot, peach, minerality, and bright acidity in this almost dry wine.”
“Elk Cove, under the winemaking direction of Adam Campbell, has become one of Oregon’s premier wineries, making sublime single-vineyard Pinot Noirs and also this peachy, crisp Pinot Gris. It’s a perfect, sustainably-made summer white.”
“It’s a tight-knit community, one that is comfortable sharing, collaborating, and learning together. Many are neighbors. This easy congeniality informed the tastings, which better resembled jazz musicians riffing than winemakers talking.” – L.M. Archer

On our estate vineyards we farm three vines in the Pinot family: Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, and the more unusual Pinot Blanc. These varietals are so closely related that occasionally a winegrower will discover two types growing on the same vine!
While we don’t always make it to the coast to go crabbing ourselves, sitting around the table shelling cooked crab from the fishmonger is also a great way to catch up while anticipating the great meal ahead, usually while savoring a glass of what we in the Campbell family call “cooking wine” (wine poured for the cooks).
In honor of Oregon Wine Month, we’re releasing our first-ever trio of Oregon sparkling wines. These wines are featured in our Spring Catalog.

We’re proud to announce our first ever Spring Catalog! Spring is here. It’s time to stop and smell the flowers. Our vines are pruned and trained to their trellises, while our 2020 white wines are all bottled – including two new sparkling wines! Our Pinot Noirs are safely in barrel until late summer. There’s nothing…
Welcome to the Harvest 2020 report! Each year we do document the vintage with notes on the progression of the most exciting season here in wine country.
Goodrich Vineyard, in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, is our warmest vineyard site here in the Willamette Valley and home to our longhorn cattle. Goodrich Vineyard was planted in 2007 with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in high-density format. The property boasts the exact same marine sediment (Willakenzie) soil as our Mount Richmond property and lies just a few miles from our Winery Estate Vineyard.
