  What a magnificent wine. Just an excellent expression of both Willamette PN, and the generally great '08 vintage. Spicy, meaty, marvelous "tang". Very wonderful with a dinner of duck roasted with lots of garlic and rosemary.

  Popped and poured with penne & amatriciana sauce. Aroma is some red & dark cherry, with a bit of plum. Taste has the dark cherry flavor, with a bit of tartness mixed in. This is enjoyable but doesn't stand out. Perhaps it needed more time but I'm not sure what more would've come of it.

  On point and consistent Pinot. One year from the last time I tasted this beautiful Pinot Noir from Elk Cove. Made from the Roosevelt vineyard, a 3-acre, high density vineyard planted on Willakenzie soils. Deep berry. Earth tones. With spice finish. Beautiful and supple.

  Excellent example of the 2008 vintage. Big fruit, full of flavor. A hint of acid and a long smooth finish
