From the oldest vines in the vineyard, the 2016 Pinot Noir Donum Vineyard comes from a site in Carneros and spent 15 months in 65% new French oak. Beautiful black raspberry, sous bois, decayed flowers, and savory notes all flow to a medium to full-bodied, seamless Pinot Noir that has ripe tannin, a seamless texture, and a great, great finish. It’s another world-class effort from this estate that will compete with the best out there.

Snappy black raspberry, baked cherry and fragrant boysenberry are lifted by a touch of fennel on the nose of this bottling. Full flavors of smashed berry, sweet thyme and peppery spice show on the palate, which makes for a very big and powerful yet clean and fresh wine.
