  This is a mild Pinot, not big and bold. Medium dry with mild tannin. Fruit is mild with notes of cranberry with some mineral and herbal notes. Plenty of structure and I would expect this to hold on for another year or so.

  Brought to Mashomack for dinner. Helen had lam chops i had the bolognese. This was a good bottle but not super interesting. For its age it basically has all the fruit but the structure wasn’t that interesting. Just straight up solid wine. The age was a bit prevalent but also could have been mistaken for a you ger wine. Overall good but had expected more.

  Paired quite well with roast duck.
  Nose is fairly subdued, there's a little green earthiness there, but not much else. Less tart than yer normal Willamette PN (and, indeed, other Elk Cove offerings I've had.) Still, good acidity and bright cherry cola. Definitely more "mellow" than "assertive".

  Really nice light to medium bodied Willamette Pinot. Lightly acidic in a good way; plum, cherry flavors are part of the smooth profile. Didn't decant but did use an aerator for the first glass.

  Nice nose. Typical Elk Cove PN. Drinking well right no. Relatively simple and linear flavor profile. Long finish. Nice fresh acidity. Should improve for several years.
