2018 & 2017 Single-Vineyard

Oregon Pinot Noir Deals of the Century

24-Hour-Only Sale - Ends at Midnight Tonight

Attention Artisans:

Three weeks ago I toured and met with the 22 best wine producers in the Willamette Valley. I am elated to offer you my two most incredible deals I secured from the trip:

• On par with Beaux-Frères and Domaine Serene in an all-time great vintage

• 2018 = Wine Advocate’s top-rated Oregon vintage of all time, which they called “Extraordinary”

• Same Vinous score as 2018 Beaux-Frères ($60) and 2018 Domaine Serene Côte Sud ($125).

• Only few hundred cases were made, and I bought the last 15 cases to offer them to you up to 40% OFF



• 10 years of drinking pleasure! Now through 2034

• Was already worth every penny at $50. The 15 cases will be gone by EOD so move fast!

2018 Patton Valley "The Estate" Pinot Noir

Willamette Valley, Oregon

93 Points - Vinous:

"Brilliant garnet. Spice- and mineral-tinged cherry, red berry and floral scents show fine definition and pick up succulent herb and sassafras nuances with air. Juicy and seamless on the palate, offering appealingly sweet raspberry, black cherry and candied lavender flavors that deepen through the back half. Fine-grained tannins frame a long, subtly chewy finish that strongly echoes the spice and floral notes. 20% new French oak. Drink 2023-2032." -Josh Raynolds (2/22)

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast:

"This estate-grown, multiclone blend is bright and sassy, with spicy herbs around fresh flavors of wild strawberries and sour cherries. The peppery herbs just lift the flavors, and the overall balance is refreshing and buttressed with mineral notes of wet stone. Just 20% of the barrels were new, adding a light burst of baking spices to the finish. Give this another year or two of bottle age and it should be in a prime drinking window." -PG (9/1/21)

From the winery:

2018 was both amazing and challenging as the sun was abundant from April until September, just as things were getting ripe. Rain in September broke our harvest into two separate harvests, which was more weird than anything else. Fruit picked before the rains was lithe, bright, and bristling with energy, while the fruit picked after was more complex, dense, and brooding. In all, wines from 2018 show great range and character.

2017 Pike Road by Elk Cove "Zenith Vineyard" Eola-Amity Hills Pinot Noir

Willamette Valley, Oregon

93 Points - James Suckling:

"Rich dark plums and some foresty and earthy notes abound with a wealth of flesh and smooth-grained tannins on the palate. Rich finish. Holds well. Good potential here. Drink or hold. Screw cap." (7/2/19)

About the Vineyard:

Founded in 2002 by Tim and Kari Ramey, Zenith Vineyard is an 83-acre vineyard located in the heart of the Eola-Amity Hills, adjacent to the historic St. Innocent Vineyard. It is a beautiful site expressing the area's unique terroir, featuring silty sedimentary soils laid down by the Missoula floods over 14,000 years ago. The Ramey’s commitment to sustainable practices and respect for the land helps to produce outstanding grapes each and every year.

About the Vintage:

2017 brought us back to what we consider a classic, cool-climate Oregon vintage, a year when our decades of experience paid off. Wet spring weather led to a more typical growing season compared with the past three vintages, all unusually hot. The summer of 2017 was warm and dry, leading to excellent flavor development in the fruit, but we thinned the crop considerably to ensure concentration and ripeness. Harvest was staggered because of the October rains, which meant long days for our crew during the windows of sun. 2017 wasn’t an easy year to farm, but the fresh, fully developed flavors of the vintage make it worth the hard work.

Winemaking:

Our Zenith Pinot Noir is hand-picked and hand-sorted then fermented in small open-top stainless steel tanks. The wine is barrel aged in 100% French oak barrels for 10 months. Pike Road sources the best grapes and then takes a gentle approach to preserve the inherent qualities of the fruit.
