Domaine Serene, Yamhill Cuvee Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley

cherry oak raspberry earthy Good aromas. On the palate is m- body, dry, medium tannins, m+ acidity. It is well balanced with good tastes. Very good Pinot Noir!

Absolutely indifferent to this. Nothing special, darker than I expect for Oregon pinot. Nose was lacking, palate was dark but not layered. Balance was OK. Meh- and didn't live up to my expectations.

Gifted to Dave Dwyer as an appreciation holiday gift.

2018 vintage

Not much in nose, bold structure and dark fruit. Ok but not outstanding.

2018 vintage

Rather full bodied. Doesn’t have the Pinot Noir taste profile that I know. Simple. Can’t say it is bad, but it doesn’t excite me.

2018 vintage

Very disappointing second tasting—maybe past its peak? Has lost a lot of fruit and vibrancy

2018 vintage

Big and bold. Too much black fruit and sweetness. Rather simple finish. Not the Oregon Pinot character I was looking for.

2018 vintage

Purple colour with some slight hints of red. Bouquet has floral tones (lavender) and some earthy tones. Flavours of blueberries and plum, followed by red berry, hint of licorice and vanilla. Body is moderately light but does not take away from the complexity of the flavours. This is a very nice bottle - I like that it is somewhat fruit forward but it is not overwhelming. Still some acidity present.

2018 vintage

Vanilla, cherry, strawberry, caramel. Tastes like Cherry Pie. So fruit bomb at the start but flavours mellow after an hour. Fun but will not restock

체리, 화장품, 꽂, 블루베리 괜찮은 산미, 뭉근한듯 부드러운 팔렛, 그르나슈같은 향긋한 아로마의 피니쉬 함께한 와인들에 밀리긴 했지만 참 좋았다.

2018 vintage

It was fine. Not as good as previous vintages. Smelled better than it tasted.

2018 vintage

Bright nose: cherries, raspberries Slate in mouthfeel and taste. High acidity, min tannins

2018 vintage

accidently entered a 2017 as a 2018

2018 vintage

cherry, earth and red berries dominate the sublime fruit. medium tannins with good acidity. this wine is all about balance. needs an hour to open up but when it does, the complexity rises to the top. not over oaked, not too ripe. just beautiful fruit with a strong up front earthiness that is hard to put your hands around. i don't think it's a wet earth but more of an dirt/soil type of earthiness. the wine ends with a wonderful …

Paired with filet on Thanksgiving. Opened about two hours before drinking. Ripe red fruit on the nose and very slight chocolate. Drank over the course of about two hours. After dinner it did start to fade and actually got more green notes and picked up more vanilla.

2018 vintage

Very good

2018 vintage

The first bottle I had of this at 67PM drank well (91+), but the next two bottles (retail purchases) were letdowns. Bottle variation/provenance perhaps?

2018 vintage

Excellent Pinot noir. Pairs well with Pork Osso Bucco.

2018 vintage

Didn’t show as nicely as the first time I had that vintage. It’s still a very solid Pinot Noir with notes of cherry raspberry strawberry and a bit of forest floor. More powerful than elegant, maybe that’s why I was a bit disappointed given the pedigree

2018 vintage

Fantastic! Great Pinot Noir. we will be finding more

2018 vintage

Pleasant, light tannins with low acidity for a Pinot. Notes of sandalwood

2018 vintage

This one didn’t impreee as much as the others. Good but not great.

2018 vintage

As someone who drinks cola about every 15 years, it's not the first adjective I reach for when trying to describe a wine, but it's here in spades, as well as raspberries Sweeter than I'd prefer, though a certain dustiness helps Pear lurking, maybe even grapefruit More New than Old so far Glad to be wrong about the grapefruit Red cherry, but without the underlying almond Professional, but lacking facets or nuance, i.e. still too sweet Would hold for at …

2018 vintage

Dark maroon color. Touch of heat on the nose. Ripe fruit with forest floor.

2018 vintage

Layered. A bit brambly which I like. Hold for a bit. Medium weight-ish

2018 vintage

Complex & jammy

2018 vintage

Incredible Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. Aromas of purple flowers, leather, dark chocolate and dried cherries. Dark cherry flavors are accented with baking spices and a hint of cocoa. Long and expressive finish with beautifully harmonized acidity. Outstanding!

2018 vintage

Jammy. Youthful. Ready to drink now

2018 vintage

So this got so much better after an hour or so in the glass. It started out very restrained but then opened up into a lovely Burgundian lady by the end of the night.

2018 vintage

Is it smoky?

2018 vintage

Med ruby. Med intensity red cherry, herbs and an elegant wood spice note. Dry, w/ med acid, med to med+ tannins and high (14.5%) but unobtrusive alcohol. Nicely balanced, but with only moderate intensity and length. More Burgundian than West Coast. Still quite youthful, it will gain in complexity with aeration and a couple years of aging.

2018 vintage

Ripe juicy red cherry, earthy mushroom, forest floor, and light charred cedar from the moderate well-integrated oak. Soft, plush tannins with a medium-plus to full body. Fruit predominates, but plenty of earth. 60:40 New:Old World profile. Delicious!

2018 vintage

Flash note. Grilled herb sweet cherry and savory spice Box unfolded in a medium garnet medium bodied wine that was very well made. Highly recommended

2018 vintage

This wine was a perfect pair with duck breast and butternut squash purée with cherry duck demi. The nose was complex, I didn’t have time to really take notes but I remember some cedar, wet earth, and cherries popping out. More cherries and red berries on the palate. Smooth tannins. Nice acidity.

2018 vintage

Rich red fruit with gentle tannins and a pronounced acidity. The influence of the oak adds the complexity to complete this wine - mocha, vanilla and clove integrate well into the juicy dark cherries. This probably can age for at least another 5 years.

2018 vintage

amazing bargain at the riverhouse restaurant in nashville at 95.00.

2018 vintage

Medium ruby color with aromas of stewed strawberry, black cherry and toasty oak. A little tight at first but slowly unfurls with tart red berries and clove spice on the palate with nice balance between firm acidity and fine grained tannins on the finish.

2018 vintage

Oregon favorite 2018 Domaine Serene Pinot Noir Evenstad Reserve ($81). Sharp mid-ruby, viscous (14.5 alc.); red fruit, cherry, strawberry jam, wood, light floral nose; mid-plus acids; medium-plus tannins; deep fruit; long red fruit and wood finish. 17 UC Davis scale, 92 other scales.

2018 vintage

Aromatically a bit subdued, but on the palate notes of cherry, mushroom and pepper lead to a dry, pleasantly lingering finish. An absolute joy to pair with grilled salmon. Delicious NW pinot!

2018 vintage

Tasty. On the nose, strawberry and light red fruit, somewhat floral maybe hibiscus, cedar. On the palate young tart fruit with a smokey aftertaste. Good wine. I would let it sit for 5 more year to let it become more cohesive.

2018 vintage

Amazing decanted for an hour and paired with a beef Wellington
