Domaine Serene Monogram 2015
Domaine Serene Monogram exemplifies the greatness of Oregon Pinot Noir, fulfilling Ken Evenstad’s vision of a robust and more structured style of Pinot Noir from the Willamette Valley. Made in extremely small volumes, Monogram is carefully hand-selected from our finest barrels, and only produced when the vintage is appropriate.
The latest Monogram release offers complexity and depth not commonly found in Oregon or New World Pinot Noir. Upon approach, layers of dark chocolate, cherries and tamarind fill the glass. On the palate, this rare and exclusive wine dances softly - showcasing silky tannins and a freshness that seems to glide and coat every corner of the palate with delicious, dark fruit flavors. Perfectly balanced, the acidity and structure make this wine extremely age-worthy. With proper cellaring, this stunning wine will continue to enhance and evolve for decades.

Winery Description
Domaine Serene Vineyards and Winery produces exquisite estate grown Pinot Noir and Chardonnay made atop the renowned Dundee Hills of Oregon. Its vineyard management and winemaking practices are
designed to ensure complex, concentrated and elegant Pinot Noir and Chardonnay year after year, and all resources are focused on this goal. Domaine Serene’s farming practices are designed to produce very low crop levels to ensure concentrated flavors - the average yield is only 1.7 tons per acre across all varietals. All of Domaine Serene’s grapes are handpicked and hand-sorted. The various small lots from each vineyard are kept separate in small open-top fermenters and aged in French cooperage selectively sourced from several French forests. There is minimal intervention and only gentle gravity flow movement of wine from beginning to end. Pinot Noir is in barrel about 14-18 months, is not fined or filtered, and is racked only at bottling. The Estate-grown Dijon clone Chardonnay is aged sur lies for 10-15 months in French oak barrels. Bottled wines are aged about one year or longer before release.
