2019 Domaine Serene ‘Ken Evenstad Commemorative Cuvée‘

We created this exclusive, one-time offering to commemorate Ken Evenstad’s life. Ken loved concentrated and powerful Pinot Noirs. As a result, we crafted this robust wine, which showcases a judicious use of oak. A perfect blend of intensity and sophistication, this commemorative cuvée has layers of depth, blending components of volume, weight and density, making it alluring.

Juicy huckleberry bramble, chocolate, and graphite minerality tantalize the senses. Inky dark in the glass and powerful on the palate, the sultry palate has layers to explore while lingering in a long finish of firm tannins.

"This wine is a fitting tribute to the legacy of the winery's co-founder, the late Ken Evenstad. Pretty, perfumed aromas of dark raspberries, ripe peaches and fresh-cut hay conjure memories of summer sunlight. Blueberry and almond flavors, with a touch of grilled meat, glide across a silky textured palate."
