Nose shows baked apple, citrus blossom, hazelnut, hint of white floral, and crushed stone. The rich palate is framed by racy acidity, with a dense mid-palate weight. Pronounced minerality on the long finish.
A young Corton-Charlemagne of tension and power. Time will be kind. — 2 months ago
Elegant Pinot Noir with restrained cherry flavor and a flowery nose. — a year ago
We were unaware that Serene made a bubbly in the US. Well behaved in the glass with biscotti on the nose. Palate displays roasted nuts and a sliver of grapefruit. Bubbles are energetic, but not distracting. Brut dosage gives this a moderate sweetness, which helps amplify a lifted finish. Overall, a good assembly. — 4 years ago

This is a tasty and easy drinking Sparking Rosé from Oregon. Tangy and salty.
Feels like it needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 years.
Good by itself or with food, and will pair nicely with fresh seafood.

This is a delicious 15 year old Pinot Noir from Oregon. Nicely balanced and elegant.
Feels like a red Burgundy, which I loved. Complex and interesting. Tangy and spicy.
I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is very consistent. Drinking beautifully now, and will continue to do so in the next 10 years.

What a beauty and only $50. An elegant and restrained Pinot Noir that is a paradigm of Pommard. Cherry flavor but not too much, Soft and clean long finish. Nice nose but subtle. — a year ago
I like Pinot Noir but I would not ever rate an Oregon Pinot Noir above a 9.1. This is just so good. Very nice berry notes, including blueberry. Great finish and actually has a tiny bit of tannin to cleanse the pallet. This one needs to be in your go to “friends are over for dinner”, stash. — 4 years ago
