2014 Elk Cove Vineyards Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

13.5% alc., $29. Winemakers Adam Campbell and Heather Perkin attempt to bring the voices of various vineyards together into balance, representing an art that reflects their style. · Moderately light reddish purple color in the glass. Wellscented with aromas of black cherry and black raspberry. On the mid weight palate, the flavors of spiced darker berries satisfy. There is a deft touch of oak seasoning, modest dry tannins, a smooth texture and a pleasing, short-lived finish. A solid everyday offering. Score: 89. Reviewed August 29, 2016
