Powerhouse PN. Super complex, shows a sweet side on the nose. Layers upon layers of fruit and wet moss. Red peppercorn finish. Excellent

Luv this Pinot! Color is a medium to dark crimson with some bricking giving it a brownish overtone. Dark cherry, wet tea leaves and savory scents of crushed rock, smoky herbs, slight meatiness and forest floor. Taste is creamy and full bodied, cherry-raspberry fruit burst on the palate with mineral-spices and orange peel and slight tannins adding to its dry medium finish.

Pop and pour. A fantastic medium dark crimson color. On the nose: intense savory notes of wet forest floor, crushed rocks, dark cherry, slight cooked meat, smoke, and dried herbs. Taste: smooth, creamy, full body wine with mouth coating minerals, orange peel, cherry-raspberry, and a spiced tea dry medium plus finish with a very slight tannic kick. Ready to go a number of more years. YUM!

One of the best Pino’s we have ever had. Love the winery and the staff and so very happy to be on the wine club list.

Once the temp was right (started a little cold) and opened up for 20 minutes it was excellent. Old world tasting. Complex. Delicious!

Can't beat the Pinot Noir from Donum.
Subtle nose, mild fruit forward and very smooth finish.
