Monogram exemplifies the greatness of Oregon Pinot Noir. It is the fulfillment of Ken Evenstad’s vision of a robust and more structured Pinot Noir. Monogram is carefully hand selected from only the best barrels and is made in extremely small quantities when the vintage is appropriate. Monogram is a selection of vineyard candidates from our three vineyard estates and relies heavily on Dijon clone Pinot Noir to provide dark fruit flavors and structure. This brooding wine offers a complex and layered aroma profile with notes of black cherry, black plum, anise, and tar. On the palate, the wine is powerful, rich and structural while still retaining its balance. The dark and brooding characters persist in this wine that offers tremendous flavor density and great persistence.

"A rather perfumed nose of red and black cherry, dried rose and fig. Medium-to full-bodied with firm tannins. Earth and spice. Meat at the end. Black cherries, too."

About ‘Monogram’
Fulfilling the vision of Domaine Serene's late co-founder Ken Evenstad, ‘Monogram’ embodies a robust and more structured style of Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley. Made in extremely small volumes, ‘Monogram’ is thoughtfully blended from our finest barrels, hand-selected from our cellars, and carefully aged until it is perfectly developed.
