Elk Cove Pinot Noir Reserve 2017
Elk Cove’s Reserve Pinot Noir captures your attention immediately with bold red fruit and spice on the nose. The texture is massive, with flavors of apple skin, berries and cherry pie along with subtle black tea and vanilla. So seamless and streamlined throughout the long finish. Drink 2022-2025.
Elk Cove Winery
Elk Cove Vineyards was founded in 1974 by Pat and Joe Campbell. Winemaker Adam Campbell joined forces with his parents in 1995 and Elk Cove remains proudly family owned.
In the winter of 1974, a herd of 40 Roosevelt elk bedded down in the clearing by the Campbell family’s trailer. Their presence, along with the protective bowl shape of the property, inspired Pat and Joe to name their property Elk Cove Vineyards.
