There’s an Elk Cove bargain for bay area pinotphiles at Artisan Wine Depot in Mountain View. Â Elk Cove 2009 Willamette Valley pinot noir is on sale for $19.99 a bottle, about 1/3 off regular retail. Â At that price it’s not just a bargain — it’s a steal. Â Aromas of strawberries and brambleberries, with an explosion of red plums on the palate and a long mineral finish with silky tannins. Â Great stuff, highly recommended.
We ran across Elk Cove during our two week Oregon trip last summer. Â When we saw this one on sale, we jumped at the chance. Â Artisan will ship to other states, so don’t be shy. Â Get it while you can!
