Yamhill-Carlton Pinot noir is redolent of blackberries, raspberries, cloves, tobacco, and coffee – all incredibly food friendly flavors.

Yamhill-Carlton wines first captivate you with aroma. Their texture is like no other wine – silky, generous, and a persistence that lasts.

A glimpse of behind the scenes at @elkcove

In 1979, little did the owners Pat and Joe Campbell, of Elk Cove Vineyards, know that they would be pioneers of the wine industry in Oregon. After producing award winning and world class wines, they helped place Yamhill-Carlton region on the map.
