Tasting note
Domaine Serene's 2021 Evenstad Reserve should bring Pinot Noir aromas of red cherry, raspberry and rose, with a subtle earthy note. Willamette Valley fruit is expected to feel concentrated yet graceful, gentle tannins giving the palate a silky contour and acidity lending lift. Peak years extend through 2029; the drinking span concludes in 2033. A measured finish should carry berry, tea and savory spice, with quiet length.
