The 1991 Evenstad Reserve represents one of the earliest expressions of this now-celebrated house style. The vintage in Oregon was still a time of experimentation, producing wines with modest ripeness but strong sense of place. A well-stored bottle from this era offers a window into the dawn of Domaine Serene’s vision: the color has softened to ruby with amber highlights, while the bouquet reveals matured aromas of dried cherry, plum, forest floor, and subtle spice.

For collectors or enthusiasts, the 1991 Evenstad Reserve is both a piece of Oregon wine history and a rare opportunity to taste one of the estate’s foundational vintages. Its provenance, careful storage, and condition will determine the experience, but when properly kept, it remains a compelling, elegant, and deeply expressive example of early Domaine Serene mastery.
