Domaine Serene
Ken and Grace Evenstad came to Oregon in 1989. They founded Domaine Serene in the Dundee Hills located in the North Willamette Valley, where Oregon Pinot Noir began and where its heart remains. their initial winery was located in shared space at Ken Wright's winery - a converted glove factory on Main Street in Carlton. Ken Wright made their first wines. They subsequently purchased property in the Dundee Hills near Domaine Drouhin and White Rose Vineyard and built a state of the art winery, planted vineyards on the surrounding hillsides, and created a spectacular estate. With 3 vineyard estates totaling 312 acres and planted exclusively to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Domaine Serene's environmentally friendly farming practices and extremely low crop yields produce consistently concentrated, award winning wines. The winery is one of the most modern and technologically advanced in North America. Several Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs are produced all from estate vineyards.
Articles About Domaine SereneReviewed Wines2004 Domaine Serene Coeur Blanc White Wine from Pinot Noir grapes 14.5% alc., 450 cases, $60. Coeur Blanc (koor blahnk) is a barrel-fermented white wine made from Pinot Noir. It is whole cluster pressed with limited contact between the grape skins and the juice, aged 15 months on the lees and then bottle aged for one year. Packaged in a very, very hefty bottle with a huge punt, it makes quite an impression. The wine has a very pale yellow-orange color. · It is very unusual and I liken it to encountering an exotic fruit for the first time. It has a little bit of a Semillon mouth feel and waxiness. There are interesting flavors of lanolin, white pepper, orange, with faint red fruits in the background. The mouth feel is very soft. No oak is evident. I think the winery should be applauded for striking out in uncharted waters, but the cost and bottle are a little over the top for the pleasure the wine delivers. Reviewed February 12, 2007 ARTICLE »
