I think the issue is this bottle since we've liked this vintage and vineyard before. This bottle has to work to get to mediocre, it is acidic and the fruit is thin. The finish is medium long, I'm just not sure if that is a plus or not on this bottle. We've had this fairly recently and liked it so I am hoping it is just this bottle. But we brought this to have a really good bottle with friends for a after Thanksgiving dinner and this is a major disappointment.

Still very young (Nov 2010). The acidity on this wine leads me to believe that it will cellar for quite some time. And the bold fruit characteristics that are currently on display give me hope that this will be another excellent wine from Domaine Serene. I probably won't touch the rest of my '08 Cote Sud Pinot for another 3 years. Even then, I think this wine could easily go 8-10 years off vintage and still show very vibrant fruit.
