Domaine Serene ‘Evenstad Reserve’ Dundee Hills Brut NV Review
Ken and Grace Evenstad are the founders of Domaine Serene. They were early pioneers of the Dundee Hills, arriving in 1989, when all the "experts" said the region wasn't conducive to producing good Pinot Noir. Like many of that era, they would prove the "experts" wrong. They began producing sparkling wine in 2014 with the goal of making the finest sparkling wine in America. Made from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, this wine has aromas of ripe pears and a hint of caramel on the nose. The palate is grippy and balanced, with deep fruit and a lasting finish.
