So damn good for the money. Green apples, limestone, light acidity. This 2017 is spot on!

One of OR oldest wine producers, founded by Pat & Joe Campbell in 1974. Name ‘Elk Cove’ derived from Roosevelt Elk which roamed nearby. 1st 100% estate grown fruit, whole-cluster pressed, cool temp fermented in small stainless tanks preserving aromatic freshness of stone fruits and gentle spiciness. On the palate peach, pear and honey flavors with a touch of sweetness. Medium finish, vivid acidity with rich ending. Drinking well now but cellar a bit. Nice value.

Smooth and tasty. And no cork work involved! You can’t ask for much more than this from the style. Honey and some pear and/or apple, at least. Simple classy label with an elk as the focal point...Win. I will return to the Cove any time the elk will have me.

Dry light bodies floral, not much complexity but easy going.

Tired of Chardonnay but don’t want the sharpness of many Sauvignon Blancs? This Pinot Gris (called Pinot Grigio in Northern Italy) from Oregon can be your go to. Vibrant with fruit, this wine is crisp, dry and versatile with light dishes such as charcuterie and salads.

This Pinot Grigio tasted like apples and was about a 3 on dryness. A wonder of flavors opened up when you hold it in your mouth for about 15 minutes.
