Elk Cove Vineyards, "La Boheme" Pinot Noir 2022, Willamette Valley

We planted La Bohème Vineyard in 1985 by selecting the very best vines
from our original Estate Pommard plantings. Pat and Joe Campbell named the vineyard
after the family who sold them the property – and their favorite Puccini opera. This
picturesque vineyard overlooks the winery and the coast range mountains and rises to
800 feet, making it one of the highest elevation vineyard sites in the Willamette Valley.
La Bohème was planted using cuttings from vines selected for small cluster size and
intense flavors, hallmarks of the world’s finest Pinot Noirs. We prune and cluster-thin
La Bohème heavily to limit yields and to maximize ripening and flavor concentration.
