Similar to the Yamhill but bigger on the nose with more perfume and darker cherries. Slightly more tart too, but that should mellow with age.

2014 vintage - perfume, floral, spice, bright red cherry. M+ acid, m-/m tannin. Long finish. Briny and minerality on the palate. Much more elegant than the 2013 vintage.

Medium-full bodied, not overly complex, dark red cherry, spice, faint oak and an herbal note, maybe a li’l bit of heat. Overall a good, solid Willamette Valley pinot. QPR on this one tonight maybe not so solid but found it enjoyable nonetheless.

Tart cherries, peppermint. Lean, with a hard edge. Would love to see this with 5-10 years in the bottle. Lots of stuffing.

Lots of red fruit cherries, raspberries, great floral nose, still a great spicy finish!! Drinking thru the 14’s but very good from OR… again IMO!

Another disappointing 2014 Pinot Noir from Domaine Serene. Somewhat washed out, and too acidic in the finish. Not what I expected from a $75 bottle.
