Our 2019 Goodrich Pinot Noir was awarded a 94 point score in Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate:
“Medium ruby-purple, the 2019 Pinot Noir Goodrich has scents of blackberry jam, violet, earth and licorice with meaty tones. The medium-bodied palate offers nuanced fruit, bright acidity and gently chalky tannins, finishing a touch youthfully coiled. Offer it 2-3 years in bottle or a few hours in the decanter.” –Erin Brooks

A blend of mainly Pinot Noir, the 2019 ‘Mount Richmond’ is dense and delicious on the mouth. Loaded with pear and baked apple flavors with wild strawberry and starfruit tones, this is rich and viscous stuff, with tons of salty nuance. Enjoy now and over the next eight to ten years. Drink 2026-2036.
The 2019 Elk Cove ‘La Boheme Brut Rose’ Sparkling Wine is vibrant pink in the glass. It comes off loaded with intense red fruits with blood orange zest, cardamom dusted French bread and stony minerals on the palate. The soft mousse and wonderful sense of weight entices from this slightly cooler vintage. Drink 2026-2036.
The very mineral-laden 2019 Elk Cove ‘Goodrich Blanc de Blancs’ Sparkling Wine comes from the Goodrich Vineyard. All Chardonnay, this delivers bright citrus blossom water and freshly cut limes on the palate alongside sourdough bread notes. This would be a tasty foil for Kusshi oysters. Drink 2026-2036.
Pure fruit notes recalling pears and Golden apples are very pleasant. Although it is a bit simple, it is also simply delicious.
This is a Pinot that deftly walks the line between subtlety and sweet fruitiness. Red berry and cherry flavors stand at center stage, with a faint whiff of oak spice lending complexity along with a tender tug of tannin that frames the finish.
A silky and red-fruited wine with nice perfumed floral notes on the nose and finish. Flavors of Bing cherries, strawberries, violets and pomegranates. Seamless, with a clean, bright finish. Drink or hold.
