Domaine Serene PINOT NOIR Yamhill Cuvee 2021 750ml

Expert Reviews – Vintage 2021

Wine Enthusiast 94 pointsEditors’ Choice “The savory qualities of the Yamhill Cuve’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.”

James Suckling 93 points“Full of oak spices and fresh-crushed raspberry and cherry aromas followed by slightly riper red plums and strawberries. Refreshing light tannins, a medium body and the exuberant fruit give a friendly, approachable appeal. One of the winerys most widely available pinots.”

Decanter Magazine 92 points “The Yamhill Cuve is a blend across the Domaine Serene estates. This wine is blended to arrive at a particular signature with warm red and blue berry fruits, white pepper and rum cake notes. The palate is a balancer of sweet red berries, ripe Italian plums and a hint of savory garrigue.”

The Wine Advocate 92 points “The 2021 Pinot Noir Yamhill Cuve, has pure scents of cranberry, cinnamon, potpourri and bitters. The medium-bodied palate offers generous layers of dark red, spicy fruit. It has a silky texture, bright acidity and a long, layered finish.”
