These are the Pacific Northwest wines that won big at the 2025 Decanter World Wine Awards
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — The 2025 Decanter World Wine Awards results have now been released, and Oregon's very own Domaine Serene has won a platinum recognition for their 'Yamhill Cuvée' Pinot Noir, with several other PNW wineries bringing home gold awards.
Now in its 22nd year, Decanter's Wine Awards competition is known as one of the largest and most significant wine competitions in the world. Last year, Audeant Wines was the only winery in Oregon to receive a platinum award for its 'Luminous Hills' Pinot Noir. Doubleback and Bledsoe Family Winery of Washington received gold awards.
Domaine Serene performed well at the Decanter Awards last year, winning four gold, eleven silver, and three bronze awards. This year, though, their Yamhill Cuvée was the only Oregon wine to win platinum.

'We are honored that our 2022 Yamhill Cuvée Pinot Noir has received a Platinum Medal at the 2025 Decanter World Wine Awards,' Domaine Serene said. 'This recognition from one of the most respected global wine competitions underscores Domaine Serene's commitment to crafting wines of elegance, quality, and consistency, all while embodying a distinct sense of place.'
Yamhill Cuvée is a 2022 pinot noir made from vineyards across the Willamette Valley. According to the winery, 'this wine showcases plush, fruit-forward character with notes of kirsch cherry, baking spices, and rose petal.'
Echolands Winery was the only Washington winery to win a platinum award with their 'Blue Mountain Vineyard' Cabernet Franc. According to their website, the wine has a 'character of lavender, rose petal, herbs and blue and red fruits, along with the generosity and richness that Walla Walla can bring.'
Other notable mentions across the Oregon and Washington regions were Ambar Estate's gold award in Oregon, L'ecole N° 41's gold award in Washington, and Watermill's gold award in Oregon.
