Domaine Serene 2006 Yamhill Cuvee Pinot Noir

A nice subtle fruity Pinot Noir with oak in the nose and on the tongue.  Pinot is so subtle, and yet has so much going on within it is difficult to think about what part I enjoy.  Jammy with light tannins and an overall light mouth feel make this a very good food wine.  I can imagine enjoying a grilled pork chop with buttery potatoes.  Wow, where’s the chef?  There is a little earth in the finish.  This is tasty!  Cherries, a bit of darker berry, some tobacco, and there is that earth again.  I could sip on this bottle all night.  I was able to taste the Rockport Syrah from Domaine Serene earlier this ear and was blown away.  I can tell that this smaller cousin should not be overlooked.  If you are a Pinot Noir fan, I would be sure to stock up on this beauty for the holidays.
