The Wine: 2007 Yamhill Cuvée Pinot Noir
The Price: $36 at Jack Cellars
Domaine Serene is an Oregon winery, located Yamhill County, prime Pinot Noir territory. The winery was founded in 1989, with the vineyards being planted on (then) recently logged forest land in the Dundee Hills.
The wine is dark ruby in color. The bottle was stopped with a natural cork, and the wine was decanted 45 minutes prior to tasting.
The wine has aromas of cherries, roses, vanilla and chocolate.
This is a fruit-forward wine with a bit of a spicy kick. It has flavors of cherry, blackberry, pepper, vanilla and cranberry. It is a very complex and rich wine, with a lot of wonderful flavors bursting through.
This is a very good example of an Oregon Pinot Noir, but one crafted in the Burgundy style. It is a medium bodied, fruity, delicious wine. It is definitely a wine worth trying!
