Color me shocked. Up there with one of the more surprising bottles of the year (alongside an old Carlisle Cardiac Syrah). Had very little hope, but was completely and pleasantly surprised.

Cork split in two coming out. Trusty Durand saved the day. First small pour was not encouraging…lots of funk. After leaving alone for 30mins, the faded ruby with tinge of black in the glass had aromatics of sous bois, black tea, and dirty red and black berries. On the palate, this was elegant showing more herbal/earthy notes, dark berry fruit in the background, sweet pipe tobacco and a still-tart finish with both acidity and tannin. I have to admit that if someone said this was older burgundy, I could see it in the realm of possibilities. No sappy, rich, cola type notes here. Open and enjoy! — 23 days ago

Another really great Serene Pinot. A bit more smokey and meaty. Lower elevation = more strength, versus Dundee Hills. Very good. — 3 months ago

This is in a sweet spot. Perfect balance of earth, acidity, fruit. Best PN from Oregon I’ve had in a long time. Stellar. — 7 months ago

This 2018 was rounder and smoother than the younger vintages, simply divine. And perfect with a grilled lamb kabob dinner. — a month ago

Overrated and overpriced Pinot Noir. Good and flavorful but with rough edges. — a year ago

9.1

Unusual blend of Pinot Noir and Syrah has the finesse of Pinot and the juiciness of Syrah it has high acidity and a plush texture with plenty of blackberry and black cherry alongside the Pinot’s spiraling red fruit including wild strawberry, raspberry and violet. It’s just beginning to show some tertiary character with forest floor and a hint of mushroom. Long finish. — 2 months ago

Winner of tasting at Domaine Serene. Amazing power and finely balanced acidity. Beautiful wine. Not exactly a steal at $400. But I love it. 😎 — 3 months ago
