Articles mentioning wines produced from this vineyardWineries sourcing from this vineyardReviewed wines produced from this vineyard2013 Domaine Serene Etoile Vineyard Dundee Hills Oregon Chardonnay 13.1% alc., 124 cases, $75. Estate grown, produced and bottled. This wine is from a 3-acre, west-facing, hilltop vineyard site at 750 to 800 feet elevation planted to Dijon clones in Jory soils. Fermented and aged on the lees in French oak barrels. · Moderate golden yellow color and clear in the glass. The aromas arrive gradually over time, offering a fruit mix of citrus, apple and peach, with a compliment of oak. Generous presence on the palate with vivid flavors of lemon, pineapple and apple fruits that arrive in waves. Beautifully composed with steely acidity, a top note of nutty oak, and a lip-smacking finish. A unique wine in that it has almost an ephemeral texture borrowed from Pinot Noir. Score: 93.
