Our 2019 Pinot Gris is featured in the 2021 Food & Wine Classic – Online Edition, as part of executive wine editor Ray Isle’s seminar, “Wines for a Healthy Planet,” an exploration of the various Environmentally friendly wine designations:
“Elk Cove, under the winemaking direction of Adam Campbell, has become one of Oregon’s premier wineries, making sublime single-vineyard Pinot Noirs and also this peachy, crisp Pinot Gris. It’s a perfect, sustainably-made summer white.”
— Executive Wine Editor Ray Isle, Food & Wine
The trio of wines Ray Isle is presenting at the 2021 Food & Wine Classic
More from Food & Wine about the event:
“The Classic At Home drinks programming is outstanding. Instead of concentrating solely on wine like last time, we’ll have cocktail demos, too (and, of course, plenty of great chef demos). For executive wine editor Ray Isle’s seminar, “Wines for a Healthy Planet,” we’ve once again teamed up with wine.com so that if you want to taste along, you can have the wines sent directly to your home. They’re all affordable, excellent bottles. So, first register for the event here, then order the wines here.”
We make the best Pinot Gris we possibly can, driven by a love for the varietal (and the foods it compliments!) Together with our neighbors here in the Willamette Valley, we have put Oregon Pinot Gris on the map, elevating it to the #2 varietal planted in our region. Cheers!
Owner/Winemaker Adam Campbell gives us an update on Vintage 2025 on September 12th, right at the beginning of harvest. Themes for the year are an early harvest, small clusters and berries and fewer seeds in Pinot noir. What will the wines be like? We have some work to do before we can really judge, but we’re feeling optimistic so far!
Palest gold to near colourless. Smells of pear, vanilla and white flowers. Flavours of pear, pastry cream and citrus pith have a chalky grip, great acidity and a whisper of sweetness. Lovely.” – Alder Yarrow
“Aromas of cherries, sweet oak mocha and raspberries. Fleecy, muscular tannins coat the mouth and wrap around a core of cherry, cranberry, crushed nuts and sweet oak. The nutty qualities and oak dominate the finish with a mocha scent. Very good acidity.” – Alder Yarrow
“Medium lemon. Lemon oil and aloe vera. Bright acidity and fine bubbles. The aloe vera carries on to the palate – a light green, pleasantly vegetal note alongside the fruit.” – Samantha Cole-Johnson
The Oregonian’s Readers Choice Awards awarded Elk Cove’s wine tasting experience one of the five best in Oregon! With over 1000 wineries in Oregon, this is a huge honor.
