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.

The 2022 Elk Cove ‘La Boheme’ comes from their estate La Boheme Vineyard. Vines at this site are nearly 40 years old. This is is a total knockout wine that has so much cellaring potential. On the nose this takes on red rose petals with linzer torte, white pepper and wafts of salty/rocky soils. The palate is plush and refined with a smooth texture and great sense of mouthfeel. Very salty and savory, with a gorgeous core of red and dark fruits, enjoy now and over the next fifteen to twenty years. Drink 2025-2042

The briliant 2022 Elk Cove ‘Reserve’ Pinot Noir is a dazzling new release that is both polished, seamless and full of underlying verve. On the mouth this comes up fat and generous, with plenty of underlying finesse. A great complement of red and dark fruits greet you on the palate, with volcanic soils, red rose water and Satsuma orange zest, with shades of Nori. Complex, beautifully-textured and broad-shouldered, enjoy now and over the next fifteen years to come. Drink 2025-2040
