Wine Enthusiast

Willamette Valley

2001: "Great fruit is the story here. There are lovely scents of honeysuckle and spice, and the fruit sets up a creamy, lush, textured mouthfeel." – Paul Gregutt (July 31, 2003)

Estate

2009: 91 "From old vines that offer more texture, steely minerality and nuance than young vines can deliver. Lemon polish, Key lime, a bit of grapefruit and much more." (October 31, 2011)

2006: 91 "A fine effort from Elk Cove, this authoritative, bone-dry Riesling is laced with lovely streaks of licorice, and built upon sturdy acids and crisp green apple fruit. The wine is impeccably balanced, so that the flavors do not tire the palate or feel one-dimensional. It picks up interesting grace notes of citrus oil, tea and grapefruit as it winds through a long finish." – Paul Gregutt (November 15, 2007)
