Elk Cove Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2022
A graceful and fruit-forward expression of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir from Elk Cove Vineyards, one of Oregon's pioneering producers with a legacy of quality spanning decades. Crafted from carefully selected estate and regional fruit, this wine showcases the region's distinctive character with inviting aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and delicate floral notes, balanced by soft spice and gentle earthiness. On the palate, it reveals a medium body with bright acidity and fine-grained tannins that provide structure without heaviness. The wine's freshness and smooth texture make it immediately approachable while offering enough complexity to complement a diverse range of dishes, from lighter poultry preparations to richer fare. This vintage exemplifies Elk Cove's signature philosophy of elegance, purity, and drinkability, delivering a refined Pinot Noir that honours both the vineyard's meticulous viticulture and the Willamette Valley's reputation for producing world-class cool-climate wines.
