"Elegant and complex aromas of bing cherries, cranberries, red currants, raspberries and strawberries, a combination of wild flowers and fresh forest berries that epitomize Oregon Pinot Noir. The juicy red fruit flavors open the attack then evolve in the mouth to darker fruit flavors with spice and mineral overtones. The wine shows ripe tannins and a succulent texture that give definition and lift to the surprisingly long finish."

"Acrobat Pinot Gris is an extremely approachable wine and a versatile food companion. It has been consistently praised for it’s value, delivering great quality for a modest price."

"Intense aromatics of lime blossom, nectarine, tangerine, melon, wet stone and guava that build into aromatics of nutmeg, Bing cherries and kiwi. The palate is concentrated, ripe and succulent with wonderful lush fruit and mineral notes. The concentration is framed by ripe acidity that gives lift to the wine as it moves to the mid-palate. The flavors on the mid-palate echo the aromas with a deeper not of honey. The wine moves seamlessly into a finish that goes on for some time before finishing crisply. The lasting impression of the wine is great purity and intensity balanced by wonderful juiciness and succulence."

"The 2012 Elk Cove Vineyards Pinot Gris has sweet and unctuous aromatics while showing crispness on the palate with vibrant citrus and grapefruit. True to Elk Cove Vineyards’ style, a rich mouthfeel leads to a full and satisfying balanced finish. Drink this lovely white wine as an aperitif or with a variety of food pairings from salmon and main-course salads to Asian and Thai influenced dishes."

Bright floral and tropical fruit notes; soft, lush and slightly off-dry. Crisp and refreshing with a delicious orange peel flavor and a hint of allspice on the finish. This round and voluptuous white is a natural to pair with almost any kind of poultry or seafood, but it's juicy nature and hint of Asian spice makes this white a perfect pair for spicy foods from jerk chicken to Thai food, and everything in between!

"Notes of bramble and earth interplay with dark cherry, raspberry, and barrel spice. The brightyet-soft palate is driven by cherry candy, apricot, cola, and hints of black licorice."
