2004 Domaine Serene Pinot Noir Evanstad Reserve
Written By: Michael Zimberg on Monday, November 10, 2008
Domaine Serene makes lovely Oregon pinot. This is an excellent, large scaled example. I smell funk and underbrush with wild blue and black berries. It has spicy, candied black cherries, forest floor, cola with smooth, structured tannins. This would be in good company with comparably priced Burgundies. It is delicious and long. It should continue to develop in the cellar for 5-10 years. Note the grade takes the price into account, where it gets compared against special occasion wine. Retail $50.

Michael Zimberg has intuition when it comes to wine. Somehow, some way, he is able to spot the best deals and the best food and wine pairings. Mikey's wife, Jill, attributes it to a naturally well-defined sense of taste and smell, combined with a healthy dose of experience. Whatever it is, his reviews shouldn't be missed.
