The 2018 vintage was warm, and we were expecting a more tannic vintage, so we were extra careful in managing the fruit keeping this in mind. The result is a beautiful lush wine that is perfectly in balance. The nose of this wine is filled with red fruit, strawberry, mango, red delicious apple, Rainier cherries and laced with deep floral notes of lilac blossoms and dark red rose petals. The mouth has an exotic star fruit character that accents flavors of black currant, and a bit of black licorice and rooibos tea. The finish is long and lingering with a creamy texture...more

This was the first vintage of our Devona Pinot Noir from the stunning Mount Richmond Vineyard. Offered here
in a magnum sized bottle that has had an additional year of aging in our cellar. Fruit from this vineyard is rarely available outside of Elk Cove's estate offerings, so we are very fortunate to be working with it. One-hundred-percent Pommard clone, this is a deep, dark, generous Pinot with just a hint of earth...more

The 2015 vintage was an exceptional one for making beautiful, balanced, rich, finessed wines in Oregon; a classic Pinot Noir vintage – beautifully developed without being over the top. Freedom Hill Vineyard offers a bright, fragrant, complex, elegant wine...more

Mt. Richmond Vineyard is one of Elk Cove’s estate vineyards overseen by Travis Watson, a very talented vineyard manager. We are fortunate to be one of the few wineries with access to fruit from their highly acclaimed estate Pinot Noir. It is a beautiful mouthful of wine with deep, dark, sultry characters: think of plums, blackberries, walnuts, and lilacs. The dark fruits and spice marry with soft wood.....more

We really like the balance that we were able to achieve with the 2018 vintage, one that accommodates a lushness without being gooey. The nose of this wine is filled with black raspberries, dark cherry preserves, and dried fig. These characters all follow through to a complex and rich palate that adds cassis, black pepper, dark floral notes of violets, fine-grained tannins, and a tiny throughline of pumpkin seed. The structure and balance of acidity, tannin, and punchy black fruit that Mount Richmond provides will age well, so don’t hesitate to tuck this wine away in your cellar...more

We have waited patiently for this first release of Merlot and we know you have too! This wine is elegant and complex, with dense, dark blue fruits. Then blackberries, candied cherries, and fresh Italian prunes carry through to the mid-palate. The mouth has good weight, plenty of nice fruit, as well as subtle hints of cinnamon stick and tobacco. It is lush and round, with beautiful structure and a rich lasting finish...more

Working with some of the best fruit in the state, grown by one of the most responsive and innovative growers, makes our work a breeze. This Merlot is elegant, balanced, and complex. The mouth has weight without being out of balance. The flavors are focused with dark blue fruits: blueberries, mulberries, huckleberries....more

This is not your normal Merlot, but it is typical of our style of Merlot. It is very concentrated and polished. This Merlot is a beauty! The nose is loaded with black cherries, spiced red plums, and cassis. It also has the delicate aromas of wild mountain strawberries. The mouth follows through with those red and blue fruit characters with a bit of tar and graphite. It is complex and seamless, with tannins that are refined in a long finish. It will age really well...more

This is brilliant, classic Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon. From start to finish, intense and focused dark plum and velvety blackberries fill your senses. Dark cocoa, cinnamon, and clove mingle with a tiny bit of graphite, bringing spice to a rich, dense, balanced wine. This is a big mouthful of lush, complexity, and the finish, well, it really doesn’t finish until you have had a nice long, lingering encounter. This wine has been a long time in the making. We poured it as a barrel sample at our launch party in the summer of 2016. It was showing beautifully then, which is a bit unusual for such a young wine, and it has only gotten better with time. Of all of our varietals, it has the longest total production time, spending as may as two years in the barrel. Once bottled, it rests for another two years...more

These gnarly old vines, planted in 1972, are some of the oldest producing Cabernet Sauvignon vines in the state, and we have had the pleasure of working with this fruit since 1997. The nose leads with brightness and floral notes surrounded by blue fruits and dark cherries. Then a taste brings boysenberries, pomegranate, and fruit leather to the combination of characters. The finish lingers with chewy tannins, a sweet spice, tobacco, and...more

We have a long history with Horse Heavens AVA fruit, as Champoux Vineyard is just a short tractor ride from Canoe Ridge Vineyard, where we started our adventures in Washington State wine. For this reason, the flavor profile of this wine is so familiar, it is comforting. The nose is elegant, bright, and luminous with black raspberries, dark cherries, and mocha. Sweet red fruits–strawberry, cherry, and raspberry– add lift to the palate. Orange zest, spice, dusty minerals, and...more
