Spring News from Domaine Serene
April 2015
The highly anticipated
2012 Evenstad Reserve Pinot Noir
is now available!

We are pleased to finally release our Pinot Noirs from the prized 2012 vintage. The 2012 vintage in the Willamette Valley has been called "epic" and "one of the best vintages in the history of the 50-year-old region." Our Winemaker, Erik Kramer describes the conditions leading to these memorable wines in his own words:

"Weather patterns during flowering in 2012 resulted in reduced fruit set and low yields for Pinot Noir. Speaking as a winemaker, a growing season with low yields, dry conditions, with average to slightly above average temperatures during the ripening period, is very exciting as it can offer unique quality wines. In one of the driest growing seasons in recent history, we produced a vintage with great flavor intensity, richness and opulence."

The 2012 Evenstad Reserve is a wonderfully complex, yet reserved wine that delivers brooding depth and concentration, rich with silky tannins and great persistence.
Price: $70/bottle
 $840/case

VINEYARD HAPPENINGS:

We have wooly buds throughout our Winery Hill Estate and we even saw budbreak on some of the Chardonnay blocks last week. We are about three weeks ahead of normal budbreak and all indications are pointing to another remarkable year.


This is an exciting time of year that highlights our multi-year dedication to quality as we begin the new cycle of the vine. At this moment, we are simultaneously re-integrating the prunings from last year’s growth into the ground as compost, preparing to plant 30 acres of new vineyards, and getting ready to release our 2012 Pinots; all while bottling the 2013's.

If you are visiting the winery, we encourage you to take a stroll around the Estate and check in with the vineyards during this exciting time of year.
