93 points – Paul Gregutt

wine bottle

Our 2021 Mount Richmond Pinot Noir was awarded 93 points in Paul Gregutt’s Northwest Wine Guide:

“This is Elk Cove’s largest estate vineyard with over 150 acres in vine. Now fully mature it presents a complex, multi-layered wine that sets the lush Pommard fruit against the more precise and deep flavors of the Dijon clones. A mix of blackberries, marionberries and blueberries, backed with juicy acids, this rolls into a juicy finish with black cherry, tobacco and a hint of licorice.” – Paul Gregutt

Thank you Paul for your wonderful review!
