June 27, 2020 - Seems like it is past its prime. Light bodied, red and purple fruit, some nuance but nothing interesting.
September 30, 2017 - Bright cherry, balanced acidity and a longish finish. Wine drinking extremely well.
May 17, 2016 - Drank this wine over three nights, and it held up pretty well. Strawberry and ripe raspberry. Well balanced acidty and a little bit of tannin. Very good value and a went nicely with a filet. This is a good value for the money.
July 22, 2015 - Smooth, suave, Serene.
May 22, 2015 - Very pretty and bright pinot with lighter silky texture. Juicy cherry and strawberry fruit on nose and palate. Good acidity to keep fresh on the medium finish. Very balanced and integrated. Missing complexity or would have deserved higher score.
April 15, 2015 - Very nice Oregon Pinot with rich fruit and soft finish. Exceptional summer red.
February 19, 2015 - Brilliant way to warm by the fireplace on a frigid winter's eve. Bright cherry with medium body. Cherries and spice on the nose. Dark cherries and baking spices on the palate. And a luxurious finish with fine tannins. What's not to love?!
December 26, 2014 - From Willamette to Fairfield, spreading Christmas joy to the BoBoBoBoJo's. Glorious, flavorful, rich, rewarding, fine Pinot Noir.
December 19, 2014 - My first bottle of this vintage of Domaine Serene exceeded my high expectations. Bright cherry colored in the glass, with a light body and lithe legs. Very floral and expressive on the nose. The palate is deep, dark, rich and spicy, belying the light weight of the wine's body. The juxtaposition of light-weight with full-flavor is enchanting. I liked this so much more than previous vintages of Evenstad Reserve, that I just purchased an additional case. I'll be enjoying this immensely over its life time. This year, it is my Quality-Price-Ratio Champion of 2014!
July 26, 2014 - Clear ruby color. Fresh strawberry, grass and tobacco on the nose. Spices, leaves, cherry and candied fruits on the palate. This "basic" Oregon pinot is just so outstanding. Balanced, elegant, solid and easy to enjoy, can't ask for more.
