Elk Cove Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2016 pinot-noir The palate is fine

The palate is fine

The vines from lower sited terraces grow partly on layered fertile loess and bring earlier maturing wines that are very expressive in their youth

rounded with black pepper and firm

this beauty is full of juicy red fruits

but with nice mineral freshness that makes it feel lighter than it really is

Elk Cove Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2016 pinot-noir The palate is fine"The Willamette Valley Pinot Noir is made with fruit from all five of vineyard sites: Estate, Mount Richmond, Five Mountain, Clay Court and Windhill. We also purchase a small amount of select fruit from other producers who are longtime friends of Elk Cove. These sites are comprised of both Pommard and Dijon plant material, with multiple clones represented. Tasting Notes: Full aromas of dark spicy raspberry and Bing cherry fruit are primary with wafts
