The Wine

Hello and welcome to Suffragette City. Your senses will never be the same! Don’t mind the brawling mods and rockers, it’s the spiders from Mars you should watch. Finish a bottle and catch the sunset, comfortably numb. From space invaders to pinball wizards, punks to godfathers, it’s outta sight all right. More than the three-minute pop single, we’ve had time in the cellar to experiment, working out the harmonies for our next breakthrough hit: Pinot Noir Rock Opera.

Elk Cove’s Rock Opera Pinot Noir lot is a bold and dramatic melding of two prominent estate vineyard blocks. La Bohème, the highest vineyard site in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, brings the operatic: the silky, dark fruit of marine sedimentary soil and a heady richness that evokes over-the-top, live stage drama. Clay Court, seated on Parrett Mountain in the Chehalem Mountains AVA, brings the rock: the breakthrough punch of red-fruited, bright volcanic Jory soil with stony undertones. This unique five-case lot was born from the same passions as a classic Rock Opera. Rock on and encore!

The Winery

Founded in 1974 by Joe and Pat Campbell, the Elk Cove Estate was the first vineyard and winery in what would become the esteemed Yamhill-Carlton AVA. Named for the majestic Roosevelt Elk that roam the nearby hills, we craft our 100% estate wines from six vineyard sites in the northern Willamette Valley. We’re known for outstanding single-vineyard Pinot noirs and vibrant cool-climate white wines. We remain proudly family-owned under the management of second-generation winemaker and fifth-generation farmer Adam Campbell.
