Domaine Serene Pinot Noir Evenstad Reserve Willamette Valley 2018 750 ML

Glistening ruby. Expansive, oak-accented cherry and dark berry aromas hint at vanilla, espresso and licorice. In a weighty style, but surprisingly energetic as well, offering sweet cherry cola, mocha and vanilla flavors that turn spicier on the back half. This is showing a lot of oak influence right now, but there appears to be ample fruit to back it up. Finishes long and smoky, with a reverberating dark berry note and strong tenacity.\n Producer Information\n Established in 1989, Domaine Serene is a well-regarded wine producer based in Dayton, Oregon. It makes wines throughout the Willamette Valley, with most vineyards in the Dundee Hills AVA (in which the winery is located).
