Our 2020 Willamette Valley Pinot Noir received an excellent 93 point review by The Drunken Cyclist:
“Under cork. I have visited the Willamette Valley countless times at this point and I have an affinity for Elk Cove. Why? Very good question. Simply? It is the quality of the wines. Dig a little deeper? It is the affable and approachable nature of winemaker/owner Adam Campbell. Psychoanalysis? I am insanely jealous of Adam’s beard. While I actually fear excessive facial hair (I think it would be unbearable), I am still incredibly jealous of those that are able to sport the Grizzly Adams. Regardless, this wine is lovely: great fruit (black cherry), floral (red rose), floral (violet), and earthy (well, earth). Incredibly balanced on the palate, this is a deliciously affordable Pinot. Whoa.”- The Drunken Cyclist

About The Drunken Cyclist:“I started this blog in 2012 as a creative outlet where I could write about a few of my passions. Initially, I thought that I would write equally about wine and cycling and those areas where the two intersect (hence the “Drunken Cyclist” moniker–more on that below).Not too far along my focus became almost exclusively on wine for one simple reason: I found the more compelling stories involved wine–from the vineyard, to the tasting room, to the table. Just about every time there is wine in a glass, there is a story to be told.”
