Somm Note
Winemaker Notes
Deep, cherry red with aromas of cedar wood, cherry cordial and peppercorn. A complementary palate both juicy and savory buttress layers of sweet cranberry, ripe tannins, raspberry and notes of warm cinnamon that lead to a long, juicy finish.

James Suckling
Lots of blueberry aromas to this with stone undertones. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Tight and structured. Better in 2018.

Wine & Spirits
Light, fresh and lifted, this shows off the best aspects of the vintage. It’s a woodsy red with a dried-cherry scent, accented with a bit of leather. Its flavors are frisky and fresh, acids and tannins working together to forge plenty of movement and charm.

Elk Cove Vineyards is one of Oregon's oldest and most respected wine producers. Founded in 1974 by Pat and Joe Campbell, their focus has always been to produce handcrafted, estate-grown wines that can rival the best in the world. Estate vineyards now cover nearly 400 acres on six separate sites in the Northern Willamette Valley. Steep south-facing slopes of Willakenzie, Laurelwood and now Jory soil types provide excellent drainage, which are the perfect environment to grow world-class wine grapes. Winemaker Adam Campbell joined forces with his parents in 1995 and now directs the production of outstanding Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Riesling and Pinot Blanc.
The name "Elk Cove" was derived from the Roosevelt Elk, which roam nearby, and migrate into the valley each spring.
