Beautiful fruit, flavor. Mature but plenty of time.

Monogram is a project initially started by Domaine Serene owner Ken Evenstad and the 2014 version is a simply breath-taking release. The Monogram is a limited production wine that is a barrel selection of what Ken and winemaker Michael Fay consider to be the choicest of lots. The wine is massive and brooding on the palate, showing a wonderful combination of dark and red fruits alongside wonderful earthy nuance —black truffle and peat moss — which all come into play. The wine finishes exceedingly long with dark fruits and minerals lingering on the stunning finish. This is a simply marvelous Pinot Noir which has the potential to evolve for decades. Drink 2019-2040- 96

Elegant from Oregon. I would suggest to drink sooner than later.

One of Domaine Serene's better efforts.
Worthy of another visit.
After leaving Napa yesterday and tasting Willamette Pinot is a bit difficult. That aside this is very good anytime.

The best Pinot Noir that I have ever tried from this producer. Amazing complexity -- notes of baking spice, earth, cherry pie, chocolate-covered strawberries, Chinese medicinal herbs, and so much more. At 14.3% alcohol, it is a big Pinot that drinks like a Cab. Highly recommended

Third bottle, this time a bit sharp. It’s inconsistent but still delicious.
