Our 2022 Clay Court Pinot Noir was awarded a 92-point score from Wine Enthusiast Magazine:
“Elk Cove is a Clay Court master the equal of Rafael Nadal. Each vintage of this wine is excellent, and the 2022 is as nimble and light on its feet as Nadal in his best year. Blueberries, raspberries, orange blossoms and buckwheat pancakes are this wine’s opening aromatic volley. Raspberries take over on the palate, backhanded by explosions of oregano, nutmeg and black tea. Game, set, match.” — Michael Alberty
