2016 'Récolte Grand Cru'
Chardonnay
Overview
Récolte, the French word for “harvest”, is a hand harvested, barrel-fermented Chardonnay made from the finest selection of Domaine Serene Estate fruit. The pinnacle of our Chardonnay program, we combine the right clones, meticulous pruning, and dry farmed vineyards on Jory soil to coax this noble grape into producing a wine of elegance, brilliance and poise.
Our finest bottling of Récolte yet, the 2016 vintage unfolds with aromas of vanilla shortbread and ginger, mingling with bright notes of white flower, apricot and kiwi fruit. On the palate, crisp yellow apple skins and opulent lemon curd speak to its perfectly intertwined structure and elegance. Technique and terroir are apparent in equal measure here. This wine will continue to reward discerning collectors of great Chardonnay for years to come.

2016 ‘Grand Cheval’
Oregon Red Wine
Overview
To make Grand Cheval we take the best characteristics of two very different varietals, Syrah from the Walla Walla Valley, and our own Pinot Noir grapes from the Dundee Hills, and blend them in perfect harmony to create our own version of the ideal “steak-house wine.” This wine is substantial enough for the richest of dishes, yet soft enough to please any palate.
The 2016 vintage combines the rich aromatics of German chocolate cake and cherry cordial with notes of savory black pepper, spice cake and bay leaf. The mouthfeel is both plush and structured, ensuring that this elegant and balanced wine will age gracefully over time.

Fresh and vibrant, the 2017 ‘Yamhill Cuvée’ exudes pure and refined elegance. Introduced by a fetching floral nose, intense pure fruit flavors of strawberry, dark cherry and tart cranberry burst on the palate. A veil of complex notes of mulled spices, forest floor and chaparral balance the fruit-driven essence of the wine. The mouthfeel is dense with pure, rich texture and fresh minerality, integrating the structured tannins, leading to a smooth lingering finish.
