Domaine Serene Yamhill Cuvee Pinot Noir 2021

The savory qualities of the Yamhill Cuvée's aromatics are a mix of red-currant compote, saline and roasted pork shoulder. The blackcap raspberry and blueberry flavors found on the slippery-textured palate are sweet and ripe. Velvety tannins are a nice match for the wine's crisp acidity. Serve with your next Cubano sandwich.

The youthful ruby/magenta-hued 2021 Pinot Noir Yamhill Cuvee comes from across the appellation and is a bit nervous on the nose, with notes of cranberries, orange peel, dusty earth, and savory cinnamon spice. Medium-bodied, it has fine tannins, a linear feel without being austere, and a clean finish. It's a refreshing wine with good structure to drink over the next 6-8 years.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Yamhill Cuvee wafts up with an enticing blend of ground clove, cinnamon, shavings of cedar and dried black cherries. This opens with a pretty inner sweetness as silky textures usher in ripe wild berry fruits, all balanced by a core of zesty acidity. It leaves an air of lavender and licorice to linger, finishing with medium length and lightly structured.
