Note di degustazione
Full bottle 1,439 g. Pale ruby in colour. Nearly everything I look for in a young Pinot: mossy earthiness, spicy-stemmy herbal notes, subtle red fruit, soft rounded tannin, well-integrated oak and fresh acidity. The only thing it could do with is a bit more length. (SCJ)

Abbey Oaks is Domaine Serene’s only estate vineyard in the Yamhill-Carlton appellation, where the vines are planted in marine sedimentary soils. The 2021 Pinot Noir Abbey Oaks Vineyard has broody aromas of red and black cherries and berries and accents of blood orange, lavender and aniseed. The medium-bodied palate is powerfully styled, its ripe fruit complemented by touches of new oak. It’s structured by chalky tannins and vibrant acidity and has a long, fragrant finish. It’s a great candidate for the cellar.
The youthful ruby/magenta-hued 2021 Pinot Noir Yamhill Cuvee comes from across the appellation and is a bit nervous on the nose, with notes of cranberries, orange peel, dusty earth, and savory cinnamon spice. Medium-bodied, it has fine tannins, a linear feel without being austere, and a clean finish. It’s a refreshing wine with good structure to drink over the next 6-8 years.
The 2021 Pinot Noir Yamhill Cuvée, matured for 15 months in 40% new oak, has pure scents of cranberry, cinnamon, potpourri and bitters. The medium-bodied palate offers generous layers of dark red, spicy fruit. It has a silky texture, bright acidity and a long, layered finish. It's easy to drink without sacrificing nuance.
