90 Points – International Wine Report
The 2024 Elk Cove Vineyards Pinot Blanc from the Willamette Valley shows a pale straw hue edged with a faint silver sheen, opening with lifted scents of crisp Anjou pear, hints of citrus zest, and a subtle waxy nuance that recalls beeswax candles. On the palate, the texture turns silkier and more rounded, layering baked pear and gentle honey tones into a medium-bodied frame that feels smooth, softly weighted, and quietly satisfying.

90 Points – Robert Parker Wine Advocate
Fermented in tank, the 2024 Pinot Blanc has crisp aromas of underripe pineapple and quince, kiwi and bread dough. The medium-bodied palate features bright, tropical flavors and a mouth-coating texture. Bright acidity balances five grams of residual sugar, and it has a long, flavorful finish.
