In my experience gifting wine in the corporate world is quite common. Fortunately for me one of our managing directors at the office knows I’m “the wine guy” so, whenever I see her name pop up on my caller-ID, I know I’ve got a bottle coming my way. Sure enough a client sent her this beautiful Chardonnay from Domaine Serene and boy, I’m really liking it. Bright minerality, lemon custard, lemon meringue, sugary fondant, saline, tangerine, caramelized sugar and a whiff of smoke. Pretty mouthfeel with a nice viscosity that gives it some heft, yet there’s a good amount of balance here that exudes a youthful, eager poise bent on growth. — 3 days ago

Dark garnet in color with long (@Bill Bender style) legs. Heavy tart cherry, anise and bramble aromas. Laser focused black fruit, leather, anise. So balanced with medium tannins. Baked fruit galette (pie crust) and milk chocolate on the finish. Great reminder to not forget about the baller Willamette pinots! — 22 days ago

Representing the best of Serene's impressive Chardonnay collection, the 2012 'Recolte Grand Cru' Chardonnay is a stunner. Using the choicest estate fruit, the Chardonnay saw extensive barrel aging (17 months, 50% new French oak) and displays the best of the fantastic 2012 vintage. This gorgeous bottling begins with aromatics of brioche, hazelnut, Gala apple and suggestions of allspice. There are rich and intense flavors of poached pear, honeydew melon and Fuji apple with a huge finish and lingers for more than 40 seconds. The weight and viscosity is there. Head winemaker Erik Kramer has crafted a hugely impressive effort in this heavyhitter of a wine. This is gorgeous right now but will cellar well for a decade or more.
