Our 2012 Clay Court single vineyard Pinot Noir received 91 points from Wine Enthusiast Magazine. “Sourced from a 15-acre vineyard on Parrett Mountain, this displays single vineyard specificity. Entry is surprisingly soft, and (perhaps influenced by the name) there seems to be a pleasing clay-like quality to the mouth feel. Clean blueberry fruit leads into a tasty, balanced finish.”…
“The 2022 Pinot Noir Roosevelt is bursting with fragrant raspberry, lavender, wild fennel and mushrooms on the nose, revealing further nuances as it opens in the glass. The medium-bodied palate is detailed and spicy. It has a gently chalky texture, fireworks of fresh acidity and a long, nuanced finish.” – Erin Brooks
2010 Five Mountain Pinot Noir: 91 Points “Bright aromas of black raspberry and cherry accented by sassafras and black tea. Juicy and focused, offering vibrant red fruit flavors that take a darker turn with air. Finishes bright and very long, with persistent spice and rose pastille qualities. ” – Josh Raynolds (July 31, 2012)
James Suckling visited Elk Cove during the 2016 Harvest and gave our 2014 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir an outstanding 92 point review: “A wine with plenty of dried-strawberry and berry aromas and flavors. Medium to full body, firm and velvety tannins — yet this is always refined and polished. A beauty. Drink or hold.” James Suckling…
Our 2014 Pinot Gris received an excellent 92 points and was designated an “Editor’s Choice” by Wine Enthusiast Magazine. “Beautifully styled, this wine brings a solid blend of citrus, cucumber, tangerine and melon flavors. The length and balance are there for further aging, but the stunningly good flavors encourage near-term drinking. Editor’s Choice.” -Paul Gregutt This review posted…
“Plush and elegantly structured, with attractive raspberry and guava flavors accented by forest floor and toasty spices. Finishes with polished tannins. Drink now through 2030.”
