Côte Sud

2008 Dundee Hills Pinot Noir

The Domaine Serene Côte Sud from the acclaimed Dundee Hills region is a stunning expression of Pinot Noir, showcasing the elegance and complexity that this varietal is known for. With a vivid red hue, this wine captivates the eye and promises a delightful tasting experience. The body is medium, balanced beautifully by a high acidity that adds a lively brightness to each sip, making it incredibly food-friendly. The fruit intensity is prominent, with layers of ripe cherry, wild strawberry, and subtle notes of baking spices dancing on the palate. Well-structured tannins provide a firm backbone, enhancing the wine's depth and richness, while the overall profile remains pleasantly dry, resulting in a sophisticated and enjoyable finish.

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.
