Tasting notes

Old School refers to the old way of doing things. Co-founder Joe Campbell made many whole-cluster wines in the 1970s and 1980s, before the winery had a really good destemmer. Adam has brought the method back for some of the riper lots, and this bottling carries an even greater proportion of whole-cluster fruit, which gives it a robust palate and elevated spice and fruit character.

Elk Cove Vineyards

Planted in 1974 on an abandoned homestead in the Coast Range foothills, when there were fewer than ten wineries in the whole of Oregon.
