Elk Cove Vineyards Elk Cove Vineyards Estate Pinot Gris 2024 750ml

Always a standard bearer, the latest Pinot Gris from Elk Cove is excellent. Fresh-grated lemon zest and orange blossom aromas are accented by a wee bit of wet slate. The wine, which was whole-cluster pressed and cold fermented in small stainless steel tanks, possesses flavors ranging from grapefruit lightly sprinkled in sugar to a green apple gummy bear.

Year in, year out, you can always count on this Pinot Gris to deliver quality and refreshment. This year's model leads with ripe pear, butter cookie and sage aromas, then follows up with pear, peach, orange zest and honeycomb flavors. A lean, crisp mouthfeel and a healthy level of acidity perk things up.

A white with verve and vibrancy, this features accents of orange blossoms, nectarine and cantaloupe that sail on the finish. Drink now. 16,019 cases made.
