Et Fille Elton Vineyard Pinot noir 06

Winery: Et Fille

Gorgeous scents of rose petals and raspberries waft from the glass. The 06 Elton is built around a juicy core of raspberry, wrapped in layers of strawberry, redcurrant, and cherry that will continue to fatten with time. The finish brings together a cinnamon-laced minerality and delicate touches of toast and lavender. The 06 Elton is a study in elegant power, marrying classic Pinot noir complexity, supple fruit, depth and sctructure. Expect this to age beautifully over the next 8-10 years. It is the most complex and age-worthy of the 06 Et Fille wines.

We've sent each of the 2006 Et Fille vineyard designate wines to our Reserve Pinot Noir Club, and the Elton will be a June club selection. We've loved watching the evolution of Howard's wines over the past years, as he continues to make some of the most compelling Oregon Pinots available. This is the final 2006 Pinot release from Et Fille.

2005 Vintage Tasting Notes

The nose is wonderfully perfumed, with scents of cherry candy and mixed berry, cola spice, cinnamon, graham, creamy milk chocolate, and bits of dried herbs and roses. The focused flavors of wild raspberry are framed with cherry, black berry, and currant. There's an initial silky burst of fruit, which transitions to spice accents and minerals on the finish.

The Elton Pinot is VERY pretty when you give it a little time or pair it with rack of lamb with pinenut and pomegranate couscous.
