"Pacific Northwest Winery of the Year!" (March 20, 2007)

Willamette Valley

2008: Outstanding! "It's fruit forward in the aromatics of tangerine and pineapple, joined by a perception of sweetness with candy corn...explosion of blood orange and juicy apricot on the attack with a piece of Jolly Rancher green apple candy in the midpalate...finish with yellow grapefruit, a twist of lemon, a pinch of anise, and banana. " (January 9, 2010)

2001: Best Buy. Buying Guide. "Consistently one of Oregon's top Pinot Gris producers, Elk Cove has a beauty here with a wine loaded with fruit, intriguing orange oil, tropical notes, a bit of sweetness and a clean, fresh departure. Won Gold in Seattle." (March 31, 2003)
