2017 Domaine Serene 'Yamhill Cuvee' Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, USA (750ml)
Winemaker Notes Fresh and vibrant, the 2017 "Yamhill Cuvee" exudes pure and refined elegance. Introduced by a fetching floral nose, intense pure fruit flavors of strawberry, dark cherry and tart cranberry burst on the palate. A veil of complex notes of mulled spices, forest floor and chaparral balance the fruit-driven essence of the wine. The mouthfeel is dense with pure, rich texture and fresh minerality, integrating the structured tannins, leading to a smooth lingering finish. The 2017 Pinot Noir Yamhill Cuvée offers lush, tricolored berry fruits on the nose with nuances of bergamot and dried flowers. Medium-bodied, the palate is smooth and juicy with loads of perfumed fruits and a long, spicy finish. - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 92pts
