2012 Domaine Serene Pinot Noir Evenstad Reserve
Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, February 26, 2019 - Deep red, appears youthful. Very nice nose, Oregon in style with more fruit and less earth. Big in the mouth, fairly intense flavors that are also fairly rounded and balanced. Medium long finish.
Drank it over two nights: pork roast night one, spaghetti night two. Went great with both, but the wine was a little more "together" the first night. I'd say it can hold a few more years easily... not sure if it is a 15 year wine though.
I quite liked this wine, more than others here apparently, but did note that it developed very little in the glass over time. It stayed youthful and powerful without the complexity you might find in a Burgundy of similar price. I still give it a fair QPR rating and recommend it as a good example of Oregon style.
