2007 "YAMHILL CUVÉE" PINOT NOIR

TOP RANKING OREGON WINE BY THE GLASS
Domaine Serene “Yamhill Cuvée” is the TOP RANKING Oregon wine by the glass! (17th by-the-glass wine overall) and the 3rd most popular Pinot Noir by the glass.
- Wine & Spirits Magazine 21st Annual Restaurant Poll

90 POINTS - "The dark ruby-colored 2007 Pinot Noir Yamhill Cuvee offers up a superb bouquet of smoke, cinnamon, rose petal, cherry, and cranberry. Spicy, expressive, and medium-bodied on the palate, it displays a racy personality marked by savory flavor, vibrant acidity, good depth, and enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years. Drink this tasty effort through 2017." - Robert Parker's The Wine Adocate

VINTAGE NOTES
At Domaine Serene, we've always maintained that great wines begin with great vineyards. This was particularly true of the 2007 vintage, where a myriad of weather conditions and temperature changes made for a very challenging harvest. Yes, it rained, but as fastidious as Pinot Noir may be, a little rain is not a bad thing, especially in dry-farmed vineyards. Most importantly is to have strong, proactive vineyard practices and a sound, diligent winemaking team that maintains a level head and does not panic and pick early. 2007 was a cool, wet vintage and will answer all requests for lower alcohols. The wines are beautifully integrated and drinking much softer at an earlier age – that is to say these are beautifully nuanced wines that are enjoyable now.
