Côte Sud

2008 Dundee Hills Pinot Noir

The Domaine Serene Côte Sud is a stunning expression of Pinot Noir hailing from the esteemed Dundee Hills region. This captivating red wine showcases a medium body, perfectly balanced with lively acidity that invigorates the palate. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing lush flavors of ripe cherry and raspberry intertwined with subtle hints of earth and spice, all characteristic of Old-World elegance. Tannins are notably firm, lending a structured backbone that promises longevity while enhancing the overall complexity of the wine. This 2008 vintage is deftly dry, allowing the vivid flavors to shine through without excess sweetness, making it an exceptional choice for both casual dining and special occasions.

Region:


Willamette Valley
Willamette Valley

The Willamette Valley is understandably most often associated with Pinot Noir. The cool-climate region has a unique relationship to this most delicate (and temperamental!) red wine grape. Lying on the same latitude as Burgundy in France, the Willamette Valley enjoys the perfect balance of sunshine and rain, proximity to the Pacific Ocean and protection on either side by the Coast Range and the Cascade Mountains. Along its 100 miles, the Willamette Valley boasts many distinct terroirs, so among its many brightly fruity, elegantly structured and blissfully fragrant Pinots, you'll also find exceptional Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling.
