  W grilled salmon. Very nice still but drink ready. Nice red cherry color amd flavors. Medium body and rather lengthy finish. Nice ageing project!!

  Still tasting great right now !! Near peak !! I agree with my note of almost two months ago.
  A perfect cork after over a decade in the bottle. Consumed this half bottle in one evening. This balanced wine showed well. Medium ruby color with no oxidation and excellent clarity. Aromas of pomegranate and cranberry. Flavors of bing cherry, raspberry, and rhubarb with a hint of forest floor. This Pinot Noir has a long finish. A balanced and flavorful Pinot Noir. This wine is on the Burgundian side and is the perfect example of what make a wine age worthy. This wine has more years of life remaining; fortunately, I still have four half bottles remaining in the cellar.

This wine has many more years of life remaining.

  This is the first '11 Elk Cove PN (not counting rosé) I've tried, and it definitely bodes well for the several others of that vintage still in the cellar, er, closet.
  It's another that I would categorize as "canonical Willamette PN". As others have noted, it benefits from some air time, but once it's sat awhile, it's lovely. Earthy, rich cherry cola, just the right amount of sour.
