Score 88/100 · Drink 2010-2016, Jay S Miller, Wine Advocate, Oct 2010

The entry-level 2008 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley is fairly priced and widely accessible (12,000+ cases). Medium ruby red, it offers up a pleasant nose of cinnamon, clove, rose petal, strawberry, and cherry. Medium-bodied, round, and easygoing with ample sweet fruit, it will deliver pleasure over the next 5-6 years. Elk Cove Vineyards’ 2008 collection is first rate. www.elkcove.com

Score 88/100 · Josh Raynolds, Jul 2010

Deep red with a bright rim. Pure but subdued aromas of blackcurrant, cherry pit and rose petal. Juicy and penetrating but quite tight, even austere, hinting at musky dark fruits and succulent herbs. This youthful, concentrated wine offers little immediate sweetness but unwinds nicely with an hour or so of aeration.
