Domaine Serene

Yamhill Cuvée Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2017

Elegant Ruby red color with red fruit aromas and gentle floral spice, aged for about 12 months in French oak, signature blend of grapes from Dundee Hills, Eola-Amity Hills, and Yamhill-Carlton AVA's. On the palate flavors of cherry and black raspberry with notes of herb, licorice and wet stone notes. Soft dusty tannins on a long finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy notes. Very Nice! Drinking well now! — 20 days ago

Domaine du Pegau

Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2022

Decanted about an hour in advance and enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2022 Cuvée Réservée pours a deep ruby color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of ripe and tart bramble fruits: blackberries, Marionberries, raspberries, “Oops All Berries!!”, garrigue, red and purple flowers, black pepper, licorice, a balance of cool and warm spices, river rock. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from nose; particularly the power and quality of fruit. The finish is long. Early days for the 2022 Cuvée Réservée but holy smokes is it already pretty special. The ABV is a scorching 16% but you would never know it. The power and freshness of fruit with the titanic structure keep everything in balance. Drink now through 2042. — 12 hours ago

Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (DRC)

Cuvée Duvault-Blochet Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2002

When you see DRC on the label it’s difficult not to have preconceptions. The nose pops with red cherries ,stems and spice. The palate is hit with weighty red and black fruit which carries a healthy dose of acid. Surprisingly lacked the complexity and finish I was hoping for from a vintage like this let alone the producer. — 24 days ago

@Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego The Duvault I believe started to be produced commercially in 1999. Those with more knowledge, please chime in.

@Ira Schwartz Have only ever seen the GC Montrachet, Richebourg, La Tâche, Romanée St. Vivant, Échézeaux, Grands Échézeaux. Granted, we’re not dealing with thousands of cases produced for any particular offering. Hafta assume that a few of the “lesser offerings” likely don’t escape the cozy confines of Burgundy.
