Domaine Serene Triple Crown Vineyard Chardonnay 2022, Dundee Hills, Oregon
Yellow in color with a golden hue.
Strong nose with citrus fruits, oak, spices, sea salt and minerals.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with limes, green apples, grapefruits, herbs, earth and spices.
Nice finish with limes and light almonds.
This is a delicious Single Vineyard Chardonnay from Dundee Hills in Oregon. Rich and elegant, and not overly fruity on the palate.
Feels young, and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly. Would be nice to revisit it in 3 to 5 years. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
A great sipping wine that will also pair nicely with food.
100% Chardonnay grapes were aged on the lees in (40% new) French oak barrels for 16 months.
13.5% alcohol by volume.

Rich and smooth/velvety. Awesome red fruit. Light but depth. Drank at mahogany with Smiths. Love this. — 4 months ago
Really a wonderful cote rotie in a prime drinking window at ~10 years. 13% abv which is appreciated. Very balanced with wonderful length. Great acid. Quite typical Syrah on the nose. Mouth filling with nice deep fruit and some earth. Great pairing with terrine and wild hare at Auberge Bressane in Paris. — 2 years ago

This 6 year old Single Vineyard Chardonnay, still feels young and would continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Delightful — 9 months ago
Gorgeously poignant mineral nose. Lemon, lemon flower. Closed but it’s all there. Direct mineral essence that goes straight up your nose. Yellow flowers, wild mint, melon, green possibly orange. Wow the mint, Really intense and expansive. Palate is so silky and my goodness what a mineral explosion. Round and yet so mineral. Wow. This is mindblowing. So juicy and compact. Amazing, wine of the collection mouthfeel and a finish that just keeps pumping the most intense and mouth caressing minerals. The nose is such a round, mineral bomb. Omg the fruit is coming out. Tangelo, red grapefruit, kumquat. Not a loud wine but a serene, gentle wine that has not one hair out of place. This is becoming the signature wine of the estate. 19/21/22 all perfect or near perfect wines. Wow what a silky texture and just perfect balance. Salty finish. Let’s see what air does. Sensational. As this opens the nose becomes crazy confectionary. The palate is silky, textured, dense and superbly balanced and pure but seems to be closing. But what a finish. — 2 years ago

Burgundy in style, and I really enjoyed smelling it for a long while.
This 19 year old Pinot Noir is still drinking beautifully. Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 20 minutes of airtime.
