Two Fine Pinot Noir´s From Elk Cove


2022 La Bohème Pinot Noir, Elk Cove
An open, cool Pinot Noir nose with notes of (over)ripe raspberries, moist earth and incense. A very fine sweetness to the fruit. Lovely.
The taste is high and fine with notes of raspberry cake, salmiak and fresh herbs. A long, distinct finish. 4+ years.
94p   (tasted 2025/11)

2022 Clay Court Pinot Noir, Elk Cove
The Clay Court is more restrained and deeper than the La Bohème with notes of dark raspberries, red tea and a fine perfumed note. 
The taste is tight and dark with notes of charcoal, ripe flowers and fried herbs. Very long. Needs 7+ years.
93p   (tasted 2025/11)
