2015 Domaine Serene, Abbey Oaks Vineyard Pinot Noir, Yamhill-Carlton, Oregon

Abbey Oaks Vineyard is our only vineyard located in the Yamhill-Carlton AVA and is comprised of sedimentary soils of the Willakenzie series. Abbey Oaks ranges from 220 to 320 feet in elevation and is planted to a complex array of cones on a well exposed south-facing slope. This unique combination of clones, elevation, soils and sun exposure ensures consistent ripeness and depth of fruit-driven flavors in the wines from the Abbey Oaks Vineyard.

Tasting Notes:

On approach, your senses are met with an enticing bouquet of bramble and dark fruits intertwined with notes of mushrooms and dark chocolate. The palate is focused with dense, dark cherry flavors highlighted by a touch of cinnamon and spice. The mouthfeel is intriguingly rich with silky tannins giving way to a long beautiful finish. It is approachable now and will evolve even more with additional time in the bottle.
