2014 Domaine Serene Aspect PInot Noir

Domaine Serene Aspect is a blend of three celebrated vineyards from the estate. The 2014 is the inaugural bottling to celebrate the estate's 25th anniversary. I visited the estate in 2016 and it is a beautiful winery. Do a reserve tasting if you can with matched food. A wonderful experience.

The bottle itself is very nice, etched with views of each of the three vineyards.

This wine starts with black cherry and strawberry with a hint of peat moss. Very strong right out of the gate. The wine is dark for a pinot, a rich dark burgundy hue. The first taste gives a very rich cherry burst. It is very rich and luscious with a butter like mouth feel. It has a very nice long finish which continues to bring the fruit.

 I rate this a 94. If you like the deeper richer style of Pinot, this is a wine that you would definitely enjoy. Also, if you can get to the Willamette Valley to visit some of the wineries there, Domaine Serene is not to be missed. There are many other very nice places to visit as well.
