2011 Domaine Serene Pinot Noir Yamhill Cuvee

2011 has turned out to be a very enjoyable and approachable vintage for Oregon pinot noir.  Domaine Serene Yamhill Cuvee is my favorite from this producer aside from the top end Grace Vineyard bottling, yet is their most modestly priced offering. Quite Burgundian,  beautiful sour cherry and sous bois, with a very alluring, fragrant nose.  Opened up perfectly over the course of several hours. (13% abv) .... 
Their Evenstad Reserve is ponderous and almost syrah-like in comparison, IMO...
