The 2019 ‘Aspect’ is powerful yet elegant, and simply delicious. Structure, balance, and finesse are present in equal measure, with a supple core of violets and red fruits that its collectors have come to expect and those who are new to ‘Aspect’ delight in. It will age beautifully in the cellar for decades.
Crowning the southernmost peak of the Dundee Hills, the magical Evenstad Estate is one of the most outstanding sites in the world for growing distinctive Pinot Noir. Dry-farmed on Jory soil at elevations ranging from 520 to 825 feet, its seven individual vineyard blocks have multiple exposures and produce some of our most prized wines, including Mark Bradford, Grace, and Côte Sud. We crafted this unique blend to exemplify the terroir synergy possible from diverse aspects of soil, elevation, orientation and clonal selection found within one remarkable vineyard estate.

About the ‘Aspect’ Collection
Our winemakers created the ‘Aspect’ series to showcase the art of the blend, capturing the terroir synergy from the diverse soils, elevations, orientations, and clonal selections within our vineyard estates. These wines are designed using a blend of grapes from our three highest-elevation estates in the Dundee Hills: the Evenstad Estate, Winery Hill Estate, and Triple Crown Estate, all situated within just a mile of each other. Despite their proximity, the vineyards offer unique characteristics and diversity within each estate that inspire our winemakers.
‘Aspect’ Pinot Noir Land
The ‘Aspect’ Pinot Noir is produced from the Evenstad Estate, featuring seven vineyard blocks with multiple exposures, dry-farmed on Jory soil at elevations ranging from 520 to 825 feet. At Domaine Serene, the journey of crafting exceptional wines began three decades ago with the discovery of the Evenstad Estate—a place of unparalleled beauty and potential. "We knew that we had found a very special place," shared Grace Evenstad, "Now, the Evenstad Estate is home to one of the finest collections of vineyards for producing distinct styles of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay."
