Willamette Valley Cellars

Domaine Serene

Evenstad Reserve Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2006

#AgedWineTuesday

Pretty color of ruby with medium intensity and a light brick rim.

Pretty nose of red fruits with wild flowers and light forest floor notes.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with sweet cherries, cooked plums, light oak, mushrooms, spices, chocolates, earth and herbs.

Long finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a delicious Pinot Noir from Oregon. Elegant and nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.

Burgundy in style, and I really enjoyed smelling it for a long while.

This 19 year old Pinot Noir is still drinking beautifully. Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Wine Spectator 92 points. Wine Advocate 91 points. Wine Enthusiasts 90 points.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 20 minutes of airtime.

Balanced and easy drinking. Good by itself as a sipping wine, or with food.

A blend of Pinot Noir grapes from all of the Single Vineyards of the estate. Aged in 100% New French oak barrels for 16 months. Unfiltered and unfined.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$150.

Dusky Goose

Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2013

Found a restaurant gem. 2013 vintage in 2025.

Leather and smoke. Earthy, old world wine. Then, a bit of berries and smooth finish. Great dinner wine. Could pair with almost anything.

Domaine Drouhin

Dundee Hills Pinot Noir 2018

Somewhat chalky Pinot, perfectly nice/evenly balanced, age bails this one out somewhat but ultimately boring, doesn’t rise to the level of my central coast favorites — 2 months ago

The Antica Terra Botanica Pinot Noir has concentrated notes of black cherry compote, mulberry, wild strawberry, violet, blood orange peel, crushed stone, tarragon leaves, cacao nibs, & clove with fine, polished tannins, lifted acidity, balance; an elegant wine that’s light on its feet with depth of character, projecting a quiet strength. — a month ago

Fun wines. I get the hype but perhaps a little flashy for my taste.

Big Table Farm

Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2017

Reddish in color with light intensity.

Medium bodied with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing raspberries, sweet strawberries, cherish, earth, light wood, spices, dark chocolates, herbs and black pepper.

This 8 year old Pinot Noir from Oregon is drinking very nicely now. Complex and interesting. Feels like a lightly aged Burgundy.

Good right out of the bottle, and gets earthier as it opens. Will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

I had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent.

Elegant and good by itself or with food.

13.5% alcohol by volume.
