Elk Cove Vineyards was founded in 1974 by Pat and Joe Campbell, most notale for their dry Rieslings at first. Winning the 1978 Riesling won gold at the Oregon State Fair, the Tri-Cities Wine Festival, and the Seattle Enological Society annual tasting. Winemaker, Adam Campbell, joined forces with his parents in 1995 and Elk Cove remains proudly family owned. Adam oversees six vineyard sites with 350 planted acres. That’s over 10 times the total acreage of Oregon vineyards when Pat and Joe planted that first vine. The winery is certified Salmon Safe and 1% fro the Planet.
Fresh notes of Bosc pear, cut hay and star anise lead into a broad palate of lemon curd, plum and rhubarb. A chalky minerality floats among the flavors and leads into a long-lingering and juicy finish.
