Domaine Serene 2007 Evenstad Reserve Pinot Noir
- Cellar Selection
- $58
A very elegant and refined Evenstad Reserve, with grace notes of sandalwood and a lovely cherry core. The fruit is immaculate, the concentration focused and lengthy, and the flavors are so artfully blended that the wine is seamless and perfectly balanced. Although it is drinking like a mature wine, there is every reason to cellar wines such as this—it can develop…

Immaculately clean and fresh, this enters the mouth with a pleasing lightness, displaying a mix of stone fruits and a streak of vanilla wafer running right through its core.

Domaine Serene 2008 Evenstad Reserve Pinot Noir
- Cellar Selection
- $65
Dark, full, generous and ripe to the far edge of elegance, this powerful Pinot is saturated with black fruits, annotated with fennel, pepper, smoke and espresso, the rich and varied flavors rolling right through a lush midpalate and on into a gently fading finish. Retasted over 24–48 hours, it continued to evolve and develop additional nuances. A wine to cellar for…

Domaine Serene 2003 Grace Vineyard Pinot Noir
- $90
Oregon Pinot at the top of its game; firm and tannic, with a complex mix of berry-driven fruits and lively spices. There is plenty of midpalate concentration, power and length, as the fruit unwinds with blackberry, plum, anise and hints of herb. Dry, green-tea flavored tannins wrap it all into a tidy bundle.

Domaine Serene 2008 Etoile Vineyard Dijon Clones Chardonnay (Dundee Hills)
- $45
Estate-grown, fermented in small, neutral oak and given extended lees stirring in the Burgundian style, this concentrated, textural, sensuous offering brings intensity on all fronts. The deep flavors of lemon, orange, apple and pear are wrapped in bright acids and lightly toasty tannins. Excellent concentration and length.

Domaine Serene 2010 Evanstad Reserve Chardonnay (Dundee Hills)
- Editors' Choice
- $45
Give this Burgundian-style Chardonnay some extra breathing time and it rewards you with tight, fine-spun and complex flavors of lemon meringue, orange peel and brioche, with a streak of creamy vanilla. It’s the sort of wine that invites reflection and rewards patience.

Domaine Serene 2003 Jerusalem Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir
- $75
The winery continues its string of successes in the difficult 2003 vintage, with another dense, soft, lush and elegant single vineyard release. Intense and sweetly fruity, it shows strong raspberry and cherry character that is nicely integrated with the toast and caramel of new French oak. Ripe and drinking well, it nonetheless has the structure to age a while.
