Domaine Serene "Willamette Pinot Noir Barrel Auction" 2014 Evenstad Estate Pinor Noir Dundee Hills 750ml +14%

This is a single-barrel selection from Domaine Serene's flagship Evenstad Estate Vineyard in the Dundee Hills AVA, Willamette Valley, Oregon. The 2014 vintage was part of the inaugural Willamette: The Pinot Noir Auction (originally called the Willamette: The Pinot Noir Barrel Auction), a trade-only event held in April 2016 by the Willamette Valley Wineries Association.

• Auction details: Auction #1 (the first edition), Lot #53.
• Producers like Domaine Serene donated unique lots—often 5-10 cases (60-120 bottles) from a single standout barrel or special selection of the prior vintage (here, 2014, an excellent, balanced year in Oregon).
• These bottles are hand-numbered #35 of 72, with a special neck label referencing "the pinot noir barrel auction" and signed.
