The story of Domaine Serene harks back to Minnesota, where Grace met the late Ken Evenstad, and the couple’s partnership in life and business first began. 💕@domaineserene

With a faith in the terroir of Willamette Valley, Oregon, this pioneering couple purchased land in the Dundee Hills AVA, establishing Domaine Serene in 1989, crafting their first vintage in 1990.🇺🇸🍇

Since then, Domaine Serene has grown, expanded, and rightfully garnered critical acclaim for producing some of the finest expressions of Pinot Noir from this region. 👏👏👏👏👏 Due to their thoughtful dry-farming and sustainable practices in the vineyard, meticulous micro-cru vinification processes, pursuit of blending, judicious use of oak, and aging prior to release, a consumer may come to expect a unique, consistent experience with a glass of this beautiful wine.🍷 In our experience, it never disappoints as a special wine to be shared during the holidays or celebratory moments. 🎉

Here is the Domaine Serene, Evenstad Reserve, Willamette Valley, Vintage 2017, ABV 14.4%. It has a strong structure, and balance, backed by high acidity, medium tannins, high alcohol, and vibrant fruit aromas such as cherry, kirsch, and blackberry. It also offers complexity in aromas and flavors with not only red / black fruit, but also violet, licorice, clove, vanilla, cola, saddle leather, nutmeg, and forest floor notes. The finish lingers.👌👌👌👌

In 2015, the Evenstads made their dream a reality by purchasing Château de la Crée in Santenay, Burgundy, France, an estate that dates back to the 15th Century. 🇫🇷 Their story is inspiring and their wines are delicious. We hope to someday visit their estates in Willamette and Santenay.

Until then we will continue to enjoy their wines and remember their story, pioneering spirit, partnership, and pursuit of excellence in their craft. Cheers! ✨✨✨ — 4 years ago

Apparently this is one of the 101 wines to drink you before you die! Cinsault grape, they looked for vines over 50years in age, bit of tart cherry, well rounded, hasn't revealed itself but am excited to crack on! — 6 years ago

Would liken to an entry level rioja. Dark red fruit, tobacco, astringent tannins. Mellowed out a little after opening but still a bit rough on the finish. — 3 years ago

Domaine de la Crée recently purchased by Domaine Serene in Oregon. It is a monopole Clos de la Confrérie. Nice Santenay example and the 2014 is my style with pronounced acidity from a cooler vintage. Light and elegant with a “funk” that I find pleasing. Dry, slightly bitter finish. — 7 years ago

A contemporary pinot that requires some bottle age. Beautiful oak treatment on the nose and palate. Superb, textured mid-palate. Uncharacteristically fruit-forward, finishes sweet - beauty, and I don’t normally like pinots from Santenay. — 4 years ago

Half bottle. $45.48 @ Total Wine. rich, full bodied, spicy, concentrated and elegant Bordeaux wine. balance between power and refinement. 2014 was ready to drink, not very tannic! Second growth. Def get this again. Les Tourelles de Longueville is their second wine if I can ever find to try. — 5 years ago
