Domaine Serene’s Yamhill Cuvée is an elegant introduction to the estate’s Pinot Noir style, drawing on the distinctive growing conditions of Oregon’s Willamette Valley.

The 2022 vintage offers an appealing balance of red-berry concentration, freshness and subtle savory complexity, making it enjoyable today while retaining room for development.

Blend: 100% Pinot Noir.

Tasting Notes: Ripe black cherry, raspberry and red plum are complemented by delicate rose petals, baking spice and a touch of woodland earth. The palate is supple and finely textured, with juicy red fruit, hints of cocoa and subtle savory notes. Fresh acidity and polished tannins lead into a lingering finish with gentle spice and mineral detail.

Structure: Medium-bodied, with silky tannins, balanced acidity and a concentrated yet graceful fruit profile. The wine combines the generosity of the 2022 vintage with the freshness and aromatic definition characteristic of Willamette Valley Pinot Noir.

Drink Window: Now–2032. The 2022 is approachable for its expressive fruit and supple structure, while several additional years of careful cellaring should bring greater integration and savory complexity.

Decanting: A brief 20–30-minute decant can help reveal its fruit, spice and subtle earthy character. Serve slightly cool, around 58–62°F, in a Burgundy glass.

Domaine Serene Yamhill Cuvée Pinot Noir 2022 is a versatile choice for those seeking a refined Oregon Pinot Noir with depth and immediate appeal. Its balance of ripe fruit, elegant texture and refreshing acidity makes it particularly rewarding alongside roast duck, salmon, pork tenderloin, mushroom dishes and herb-roasted poultry.
