Domaine Serene Pinot Noir Yamhill Cuvée 2023

The resulting 2023 'Yamhill Cuvée' Pinot Noir is vibrant, featuring notes of wild cherry and red currant. Notably approachable, this wine offers finely tuned tannins and a persistent, mouthwatering finish.

The 2023 'Yamhill Cuvée' is incredibly versatile. It pairs beautifully with everything from cedar-planked salmon and herb-crusted pork to casual favorites like gourmet burgers and pizza.

Our 'Yamhill Cuvée' wine is known for its consistency vintage after vintage due to the blending of Pinot Noir from each of our main vineyard estates. Named after the county where the Domaine Serene estates are found, this blend includes fruit from the Yamhill-Carlton AVA, Dundee Hills AVA and Eola-Amity AVAs. The 2023 growing season in the Willamette Valley started with a cool, late spring followed by a warm, dry summer. Well-timed rains followed by a late summer allowed for ideal fruit ripeness and intensity.

Barrel aging: 15 months, French Oak.

Domaine Serene Vineyards and Winery produces exquisite estate grown Pinot Noir and Chardonnay made atop the renowned Dundee Hills of Oregon. Its vineyard management and winemaking practices are designed to ensure complex, concentrated and elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay year after year, and all resources are focused on this goal. Domaine Serene’s farming practices are designed to produce very low crop levels to ensure concentrated flavors - the average yield is only 1.7 tons per acre across all varietals. All of Domaine Serene’s grapes are handpicked and hand-sorted. The various small lots from each vineyard are kept separate in small open-top fermenters and aged in French cooperage selectively sourced from several French forests. There is minimal intervention and only gentle gravity flow movement of wine from beginning to end. Pinot Noir is in barrel about 14-18 months, is not fined or filtered, and is racked only at bottling. The Estate-grown Dijon clone Chardonnay is aged sur lies for 10-15 months in French oak barrels. Bottled wines are aged about one year or longer before release.
