RATINGS

96James Suckling

Aromas of oyster shell, baked lemon and aniseed. Full-bodied but tight. Steady and harmonious on the palate, with lovely length and balance.

93Wine Enthusiast

Showing a delicious mix of pear, melon and citrus fruits, it sports refreshing acidity and buttery oak in equal proportions.

93Jeb Dunnuck

...nose is fresh with white flowers, honeydew melon, and delicate oak spice, followed by a medium-bodied palate with refreshing acidity and notes of peach, lime zest, and chalky earth.

92Wine Spectator

Vibrant and silky, offering floral lemon and nectarine flavors that are accented by orange zest, mineral and spice.

16.5+ Jancis Robinson

Aromas of zesty Key-lime curd, yogurt and vanilla flowers. Obviously oaked but with a light touch and excellent integration. The palate has refreshing, high, mouth-watering acidity, and ripe Key-lime curd citrus. A light cinnamony, salty, bread-dough quality on the finish. Nicely balanced with good energy. Just lovely.

PRODUCER

Domaine Serene

Domaine Serene is in Dayton, Oregon. The estate has numerous vineyards in several areas of the Willamette Valley, in the heart of Oregon’s Pinot Noir country. The estate was founded in 1989 by Grace and Tony Evenstad. The couple built a pharmaceutical company in Minnesota before starting their winery in Oregon. Domaine Serene is known for its single vineyard Pinot Noirs. It also produces Chardonnay.

REGION

United States, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Dundee Hills

Dundee Hills AVA is in Yamhill County, and it is entirely contained within the Willamette Valley AVA, Oregon’s best known appellation. Dundee Hills is about 30 miles southwest of Portland, and has 1,300 vineyard acres. It was awarded AVA status in 2004 and, like much of Oregon, is known for Pinot Noir. Several of Oregon’s 20th century wine pioneers established their vineyards and wineries in Dundee Hills, adding to its status as a region long-recognized for producing high quality, iconic Oregon wines. Eyrie Vineyards, Erath Winery and Sokol Blosser remain some of Oregon’s most celebrated producers, and all were founded in what is now Dundee Hills in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

TYPE

White Wine, Chardonnay

This white variety originated in Burgundy, but is now grown around the world. Its flexibility to thrive in many regions translates to wide flavor profile in the market. Chardonnay is commonly used in making Champagne and sparkling wines.
