Ja, dit hebben we niet elke dag. We starten bij 12gr en dat is al gweldig. Cassis en kreupelhout geuren het glas uit. Tabakkig, zwarte bessen, zwarte kersen, kokos (?), leuke lik vanille, melkchoco. Perfecte ondersteuning van tannines en zuren. Blijft lang hangen met nog wat inkt en menthol helemaal op het einde. Supér! — 5 years ago

Nose is flinty, burned popcorn, oak, butterscotch, Werther's original, burnt wood, but on the palate it is confusingly crisp when compare with the nose. Impressions of Toaster leavings and caramel. — 9 years ago

This is actually elke ranch fruit but no label as it was in magnum in Eric's cellar.
Killer Pinot that just kept unfolding in the glass. Went from a candied strawberry tone to earthy and tobacco tones. Years of life ahead. — 10 years ago

Nice! Refreshing, oranges, pears, medium dry, good aperitif sipper.

Increasingly looking like it will be Hillary vs the Donald in 2016. Go Hillary! — 10 years ago

This what it's all about; excellent Pinot Noir. Light, complex, yummy. Each bottle does need to be stood up for a day before serving to let it settle. — 11 years ago

Very pleasant boutique bottling from a superior vintage featuring a texture of black pepper, black tea, savory and dark cherry. Purchased for low $20s, this producer does small productions beside selling fruits to leading Mendocino producers. Low level of tannin would make this a an easy choice for by-the-glass and for many Pinot fans — 12 years ago

An Elke-based wine, from when she and he partnered out of her winery. Dusty and faint grape jolly rancher in the glass. Boysenberry, slightly pine-y, and wet stone on the nose. Sour cherry, stem, mossy, and touch of leather on the palate. A layer of smoke and pear on the finish. Deliciously rustic, with nice subtleties. Opens up over 2 days nicely (opened in Dec 2019). The best kind of "garage wine', right here. — 7 years ago

Green apple, honeydew melon, honey, lime. One guest says this is one of the best wines he's tasted. Lively, off-dry, and very food friendly. — 11 years ago

Lemon curd and baked apples. The acid is keeping this surprisingly youthful for 8yrs old. I nice little chard for creamy dishes. — 8 years ago

The pale-colored 2014 Rosé Elke Home Ranch, 100% whole-cluster Pinot Noir, is an absolutely delicious wine to drink now and over the next few years. Bright, perfumed and silky on the palate, the 2014 offers up plenty of bright cranberry and raspberry notes in an appealing crisp, bone-dry style. (AG)

A farmer turned producer. Mary grew grapes for many of the big names before starting her own tiny little label. I keep thinking this 07 will be ready to drink but it continues to improve. Not even close to peak yet. The 94 overall rating on delectable says it all. Great pinot. — 10 years ago

Ja, rijke bubbel, prima droog en toch fris. Weinig muf en een halflange afdronk. Een spannende Brut voor elke feestelijkheid! — 10 years ago
