Donum
East Slope Estate Grown Pinot Noir
Carneros, North Coast, California, USA
From mag. Pop and pour. A thrilling murky dark garnet with bricking. On the nose: beautiful notes of some cherry, cloves, funky mushrooms, smoke, touch of mint. Taste: velvety smooth, nuanced, delicious wine with some dried cherry/plum, leather, black tea, minerals and a smokey spiced vanilla oak medium plus finish. YUM!

May 19th, 2023150 cases from this east sloping block on their Caneros estate.
Pop and pour. A wondrous medium tawny red color. On the nose: Beautiful expressive nose of cherry, wet tea leaves, strawberry, sandlewood, floral, spice, and vanilla tapioca. Taste: smooth, creamy polished medium plus body wine with easy cherry, orange peel, pine, raspberry, and a spicy herbal tea long finish. Cooler part of their estate and the most Burgundy style of the Donum wines. Cheers!

Garnet in color. A nose of bright cherry, strawberry, toasted graham cracker. Flavors of stewed plum, sour cherry and baking spice with silky texture and round finish. Everything in balance.
