title: Elk Cove 2012 Reserve Pinot Noir (Willamette Valley)
description: Sourced from select barrels drawn from five estate vineyards, the reserve spent 10 months in oak. It is only made in exceptional years, and 2012 was certainly among the best in memory. Berry, cherry and toast components are here in full measure, with a sumptuous mocha-infused finish. Still young, this wine will show best with aeration, or tuck it away for some extra bottle age.
variety: Pinot Noir
designation: Reserve
