The Jerusalem Hill Vineyard is our lowest elevation vineyard and is located 16 miles south of the Dundee Hills in the Eola-Amity Hills. This vineyard is planted in Woodburn sedimentary soils brought into the valley during the Missoula Floods, 13,000 to 15,000 years ago.
Deep ruby-red in color, the 2014 Jerusalem Hill appeals with aromas of thyme, pomegranate, baking spices, and slate. The mouthfeel is round and generous with layers of black tea unfolding with red currants and cranberries. The tannins are like velvet and everything is in harmony. Its opulent flavors deliver a richness that gives way to a wonderfully persistent finish.

"Most Domaine Serene single-vineyard wines are grown right on the Dundee Hills estate; this one reflects a different home, in the Eola Hills AVA. It's a delicious riot of red and blue fruits, with toast, chicory and a touch of licorice threaded through. The balance and muscle are there to keep this in fine shape through at least 2027, but it's delicious right now, so why wait?"
