ELK COVE CLAY COURT PINOT NOIR 2022

Style : Dry & Racy

The five Campbell kids all grew up working summers in the vineyards at Elk Cove ¿ it was truly a family business and Joe and Pat needed all the help they could get. Adam took a special interest and stayed close to home for college, attending Lewis & Clark and spending summers on the bottling line. Upon graduation he joined the business year-round to learn the craft of winemaking from his parents. Adam is now responsible for making Elk Cove¿s wines. He now oversees six vineyard sites with 380 planted acres. That¿s over 10 times the total acreage of all Oregon vineyards when Pat and Joe planted that very first vine in 1974. The Campbells¿ goal has always been hand-crafted, Estate-grown cool climate ­wines that rival the best in the world. As a second-generation winemaker and a 5th-generation Oregon farmer, Adam Campbell is proud to continue that tradition.

All of Elk Cove¿s delicate Pinot Noir fruit undergoes the same gentle handling through our gravity flow system. This allows us to achieve the elegance, texture and luscious quality that are the hallmarks of exquisite Pinot Noir. Clay Court Pinot Noir fruit is fermented in small, temperature controlled steel tanks, hand punched down twice daily then aged for ten months in French oak. Our winemaking team then carefully blends the barrels most representative of the spicy flavors and concentrated red cherry fruit that characterizes this vineyard. Lush and open with fresh raspberry, nutmeg and rose petal aromatics, this wine is juicy and supple with flavors of mixed berry pie, black cherry, cedar and mulling spices. ELK COVE VINEYARDS
