The best characteristics of two very different varietals meet in perfect harmony to form a wonderfully remarkable blended red wine. Created to be our “Steakhouse wine” the Grand Cheval is bold enough for the richest of dishes, yet soft enough to please any palate. This wine offers an intriguing and complex aroma profile with notes of blueberries, blackberries, and savory wild game. On the palate, the wine enters with intensity and offers a rich, mouth coating texture and finishes with flavors of dark chocolate.

The Story
About ‘Grand Cheval’
Grand Cheval is a cherished cornerstone of Domaine Serene created by our late co-founder Ken Evenstad that honors the legacy of his grandfather, a dedicated immigrant farmer who worked tirelessly alongside his loyal workhorse.
To make Grand Cheval we take the best characteristics of two very different varietals, Syrah from the Walla Walla Valley, and our own Pinot Noir grapes from the Dundee Hills, and blend them in perfect harmony to create our own version of the ideal “steakhouse wine.” This wine is substantial enough for the richest of dishes, yet soft enough to please any palate.
