2018 Elk Cove Vineyards Windhill Vineyard Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

14.0% alc., pH 3.58, 154 cases, $60. Harvest Brix 24º. Fermented in small open-top steel fermenters and aged 10 months in 27% French oak barrels. · Dark garnet color in the glass. Engaging aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, creme soda, and bramble. Midweight plus flavors of olallieberry and blackberry touched with exceptional spice. Expansive on the mid palate and the extremely long finish. Supportive, dusty tannins and welcome oak with an underlying earthy tone. This wine reminds me of a delicious olallieberry pie (my favorite). Score: 95. Reviewed May 29, 2022
