2014 Goodrich Library Release
Notes of cranberry, leather and lavender on the nose lead to an old-school 25% whole cluster Elk Cove Pinot Noir. Spicy in the glass, this wine features fruit flavors of black plum and raspberry alongside the clean earthiness of fresh turned soil. Undertones of fresh black pepper and rich game stew add depth.

“hardly any stemminess in this wine. Instead, there is plenty of spice toward the finish with black pepper and clove notes infusing the black fruit. This delivers style and class…”

91 Points in Wine Enthusiast
“…a mix of raspberry and black cherry. Forward, bright and lightly spicy, it’s (a) nicely focused effort with some high snap to the finish.”
