Winemaker Notes
The 2023 growing season in the Willamette Valley started with a cool, late spring followed by a warm, dry summer. Well-timed rains followed by a late summer allowed for ideal fruit ripeness and intensity. The resulting 2023 ‘Yamhill Cuvée’ Pinot Noir is vibrant, featuring notes of wild cherry and red currant. Notably approachable, this wine offers finely tuned tannis and a persistent, mouthwatering finish. The 2023 ‘Yamhill Cuvée’ is incredibly versatile.
Food Pairing – It pairs beautifully with everything from cedar planked salmon and herb-crusted pork to casual favorites like gourmet burgers and pizza
Yamhill Cuvée is named for the county where all of the Domaine Serene Estates are located. This signature blend includes grapes from the Dundee Hills, Eola-Amity Hills, and Yamhill-Carlton AVA’s. It is consistent and approachable, with a textural profile that is vibrant, silky, and persistent. Dark ruby in color, the Yamhill Cuvée is extremely expressive showcasing heavenly aromas of cocoa, pomegranate, clove, and star anise. A patchwork of cherry, cranberry cocktail, and blueberry flavors explode on the palate. Polished and plush, its seamlessly integrated and inviting tannins lead to a long, lingering finish. An extremely appealing wine, its complexity leaves you thirsty for more.
