ELK COVE FIVE MOUNTAIN PINOT NOIR 2022

Style : Savoury & Detailed

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. ELK COVE VINEYARDS

Elk Cove Vineyards purchased Five Mountain Vineyard in 2005 after leasing the site for several years. Previously it was exclusively used in our Willamette Valley blend, but after taking full control of the vineyard we have found certain lots worthy of Single Vineyard status. This historic vineyard was planted in 1978 by the Ponzi family. Fruit from Five Mountain is fermented in small, temperature controlled steel tanks, hand punched down twice daily, and barreled in French oak barrels. After 10 months of aging, only the barrels that are most representative of the Five Mountain profile are carefully blended to create a rich, earthy Oregon Pinot Noir. An abundant nose of blueberry compote, five spice and cedar is made more complex by notes of forest floor, browned butter, and sage. The earthy palate features black plum and dried blueberries among silky tannins and notes of caramel, rose petal and baking spice. ELK COVE
