2012 Domaine Serene Mark Bradford Vineyard

"This is showing an intense and seductive nose of black olives, dried cranberries, spiced cherries and charcuterie. Full-bodied, peppery and meaty, with so much concentration and a ripe, solid tannin structure. Lots of power. And life ahead." -Claire Nesbitt, James Suckling

Mark Bradford Vineyard is a high elevation site located on the west-facing slope of the Evenstad Estate. It was the first vineyard planted at Domaine Serene and is named after Grace and Ken Evenstad’s son. This dynamic wine delivers a serious, rich palate with focused tannins and lingering flavor.
