2015 Domaine Serene, Jerusalem Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir, Eola-Amity Hills, Oregon
The Jerusalem Hill Vineyard is our lowest elevation vineyard and is located 16 miles south of the Dundee Hills in the Eola-Amity Hills. This vineyard is planted in Woodburn sedimentary soils brought into the valley during the Missoula Floods, 13,000 to 15,000 years ago.

Tasting Notes:
Deep ruby-red in color, the 2015 Jerusalem Hill appeals with aromas of fig, baking spices, and oolong tea. The mouthfeel is round and generous with layers of fruit unfolding with black currants and raspberry flavors on the palate. The tannins are like velvet and everything is in harmony. Its opulent flavors deliver a richness that gives way to a wonderfully persistent finish. Beautiful now, but will age gracefully for decades to come.
