Beautiful wine. (322 views) | | | Tasted by tedcholl on 3/2/2023 & rated 93 points: I'm a big fan of Oregon PN and also if Domaine Serene. Very elegant and structured PN. Flavors of cherry, raspberry, forest floor, and baking spices. (686 views) | | | Tasted by tedcholl on 12/1/2022 & rated 92 points: Bought 2 bottles of this at auction and love the age on this. Cherry, raspberry, earthy notes, forest floor. An excellent PN!

With the elegance, I thought this was a CdN village so was pleasantly surprised this was a new world wine. But with air it became less pleasant, turned jammy with a sickly cola and chocolate note that was rather monolithic. If only it remained as it was when first popped. (1807 views) | | | Tasted by KTelaak_Buffalo on 3/5/2020 & rated 94 points: This is really terrific. A great Pinot with complexity to make it super interesting. Medium in color. Fruits and cola and some mild drying tannins. Be happy if you have it in your cellar. Drink now or wait. I'm happy I enjoyed now. (1530 views) | | | Tasted by jkvedar on 9/29/2019 & rated 93 points: This wine has really integrated since I last tasted it in Jan 2019. One important difference: this time I opened the bottle at noon and poured some in a decanter at 5:30, 30 minutes before dining. Smoke, spice and dark fruits, a touch floral on the nose. Well -integrated and balanced on the palate. Long finish. Great with grilled salmon, grilled eggplant and rice. The only criticism is that it is a bit hot. (1547 views) | | | Tasted by ashikoh on 5/26/2019 & rated 95 points: dark fruit, spice, bolder style, all Eola-Amity Hills and Domaine Serene style, very good vintage (1428 views) | | | Tasted by jkvedar on 1/6/2019 & rated 91 points: Strong nose of cherry cola. Well-balanced on the palate. Pleasant finish. (1562 views) | | | Tasted by MC2 Wines on 1/5/2019: Winorama: A winter in Wineland III; 1/4/2019-1/13/2019 (Portland/Willamette, Eureka, Napa): Very fun to try a few of these single vineyards back to back and get a better understanding of their general characteristics. This is from the Eola-Amity Hills area. Lots of darker fruits. Bolder style. There's plum and vanilla and spices and toast. And yet somehow also a slight softness to the wine. For most the Winery Hill completely overshadowed. I'd say I still liked this even if this year it wasn't quite like it's brother. (2200 views) | | | Tasted by Motz on 11/13/2018 & rated 93 points: In the lush, leaning toward Syrah style, yet showing appealing precision and lift. Medium to medium plus acid bodes well for mid-term aging, twelve to fifteen years. Not my preferred style, but a wholly intriguing, rounded, and complete wine.

Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.Oregon Oregon Wine, Oregon Wineries (Oregon Wine Board)Willamette Valley Willamette Valley Wineries Association | Willamette Valley (Oregon Wine Board)
