Country: US / Goodrich
Variety: Pinot Noir Oregon
Winery: Elk Cove / Willamette Valley
This is the first time this recently purchased vineyard has been featured as an Elk Cove designate. Planted in 2007, it’s just coming into its own. The young fruit is tight and tangy—a mix of raspberry and black cherry. Forward, bright and lightly spicy, it’s nicely focused effort with some high acid snap to the finish.
