Bodacious Bubbles – The Oregonian
Bubbles bounce around the glass like tiny tots jacked up on holiday cookies. The wine’s hunger-pang-inducing aromas of warm sourdough bread, raspberries and Meyer lemons lead to bright red cherry and lemon pastille flavors.

90 Points – The Drunken Cyclist
Straw to yellow with a fervent sparkle. A shy nose with some interesting notes of really tart lemon and lychee. The palate is tart, fruity, and lengthy. Nice.

90 Points – The Drunken Cyclist
Pale straw with a lovely nose of peach, lemon, and some croissant. The palate leans toward austere, though, with nice acidity and a flinty aspect. Excellent.

90 Points – Decanter
A powerful Pinot Noir from Elk Cove’s most prized vineyard, Roosevelt, its steep south-facing hillsides offer ample ripening, evident in this wine. The aromatics are fruit-driven, ripe red and black berry fruits accented by barrel spice and crushed violets. The palate is ripe and does show a touch of heat. There are ripe fruit flavours of black plum, cherry compote and dried fig. Hints of pencil lead, cinnamon, and cola notes deliver the well-structured wine to its finish.

92 Points – Decanter
“This Pinot Noir is comprised of fruit from the Elk Cove Goodrich Vineyard property, planted in 2007 and really starting to come into its own. Aromas offer ripe blue fruits, black tea, and eucalyptus, getting at both depth and classic Yamhill-Carlton character. The palate brings a complimentary depth to the wine. It is at moments ripe and round, yet offering earthy minerality that is backed up by black cherry and sweet plum.”
