Elk Cove Vineyards 'Mount Richmond' Pinot Noir 2021

Vintage 2021 was an outstanding year at Elk Cove. Cool weather during bloom and moderate temperatures during most of the growing season brought forth an ample harvest of intensely concentrated fruit. Elk Cove vines made it through the rain and the heat in fine condition with lots of variable sized berries, known as hens and chicks. Harvest 2021 was not only of high quality but also surprisingly bountiful. Low levels of dehydration combined with the numerous small clusters and several acres of young vines coming into maturity meant a record tonnage for Elk Cove. For red Pinot Noirs, expect intense color and flavors bursting out of the glass, while white wines and rosés are fruit forward with great acidity and balance.
