Our 2021 Reserve Pinot Noir has been honored with a 96-point score from Wine Enthusiast Magazine.

“The Reserve is composed of the nine best barrels from Elk Cove’s estate plantings. It will require decanting in the short run and patience in the long run. Beautiful boysenberry, tangerine and anise-laced Thai basil aromas lead to flavors like tangy cranberry, raspberry and cinnamon. Drink 2025–2038. Cellar Selection.” — Michael Alberty
