Recent Accolades

Pinot Noir

2006 Reserve: 93 Pts. "Rich, ripe, and expressive, offering a mouthful of dark plum, golden raspberry and even a hint of apricot as the finish comes together and lingers against refined tannins. This is beautifully focused with depth and distinctiveness." Wine Spectator (August 1, 2008)

2006 Roosevelt: 92 Pts. "Firm, even a bit gritty in texture, but tremendously expressive, offering orange peel-accented cherry, plum, tar, and exotic speice flavors that just don't quit as they sail through the long, open-weave finish." Wine Spectator (August 1, 2008)

2006 La Bohème: 93 Pts. "Velvety in texture and generous with its blue plum and black currant flavors, subtly weaving in notes of red meat and balsamic… the wine seems to pose on the finish, showing off its gifts." Wine Spectator (May 1, 2008)

2006 Mt. Richmond: 93 Pts. "Supple, round and generous. A luscious mouthful of cherry, blackberry, cream and espresso flavors linger seductively on the long, expressive finish. Harmonious and deftly balanced, this is a big wine that wears its flesh easily. Drink now through 2016." Wine Spectator (April 23, 2008)

2006 Five Mountain: 91 Pts. "Alluring bouquet of black raspberry, kirsch, allspice, incense, and cinnamon. The palate offers deep, sweet red and dark berry flavors, supple texture and fine-grained tannins that add gentle grip. Finishes energetic and spicy, with a strong note of sweet red berries. Seductive and delicious now." Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (May 1, 2008)

2006 Willamette Valley: 91 Pts. "Richly ripe when first poured, this gathers focus with air. Its stalwart plum flavors develop a limpid clarity in the center, a pure fruit moment that gives way to a fleshy, savory finish. It has the savory layered notes to pair with coq au vin." Wine & Spirits (April 30, 2008)

Pinot Gris

2007 Willamette Valley: 91 Pts. Editor's Choice. "This is a fruit powered wine, leaded with fresh pear, melon, and tropical flavors. It shows no sign if having suffered from the wet, cool weather that hit Oregon during the 2007 harvest. It seems riper than the perfectly balanced ’06 bottling, with lower acids, and a streak of vanilla and coconut wrapping up the finish." Wine Enthusiast (July 1, 2008)

Riesling

2006 Estate: 91 Pts. "A fine effort from Elk Cove, this authoritative, bone-dry Riesling is laced with lovely streaks of licorice, and built upon sturdy acids and crisp green apple fruit. The wine is impeccably balanced, so that the flavors do not tire the palate or feel one-dimensional. It picks up interesting grace notes of citrus oil, tea and grapefruit as it winds through a long finish." Wine Enthusiast (November 15, 2007)
