2021 Domaine Serene 'Yamhill Cuvee' Pinot Noir, Willamette Valley, USA (750ml)

WINEMAKER'S NOTES: The 2021 Domaine Serene Yamhill Cuvée is a delightful wine that showcases a beautiful array of flavors and aromas. On the nose, there are notes of sweet kirsch cherries, fresh fir tips, potpourri, and sandalwood that create a complex bouquet. As you take a sip, the wine is fruit-forward and plush with a juicy and lush mouthfeel that is both soothing and inviting. There is a delicate balance to this wine, which is not too lean, yet still maintains a sense of delicacy. The palate notes are alluring and pleasurable, with the fruitiness on the nose coming through on the palate, and a finish of rose petal and floral. TASTING NOTES: The savory qualities of the Yamhill Cuvée's aromatics are a mix of red-currant compote, saline and roasted pork shoulder. The blackcap raspberry and blueberry flavors found on the slippery-textured palate are sweet and ripe. Velvety tannins are a nice match for the wine's crisp acidity. Serve with your next Cubano sandwich. - Wine Enthusiast, 9
