2008 Domaine Serene Pinot Noir Evenstad Reserve

The 2008 Evenstad Reserve has a super-expressive nose of smoke, spice, mineral, incense, black cherry, and black raspberry. This leads to a medium-bodied, stuffed wine containing layers of ripe fruit, outstanding volume, vibrant acidity, and a lengthy, velvety finish. It will benefit from 2-3 years of additional bottle age and will offer prime drinking from 2012 to 2020. Domaine Serene’s 2008 Pinot Noirs are outstanding across the portfolio. Tel.
