Double decant and pour with the roasted chicken and bread salad. On the nose: incredible perfumed nose of dark cherry, musky forest floor, touch of stewed meat, and spice. Taste: rich, full, lush Donum style (west slope with some age is my fav and wish I had more) with dark plum/cherry, minerals, orange peel, dried herbs, and a spiced black tea long finish. YUM!!!

2014 - year of the horse

Double decant and pour. A medium dark ruby red color. Buckle up, your going to enjoy this ride. On the nose: sweet raspberry, forest floor, some vegi, slight menthol, with a little cinnamon. Taste: black cherry, gravel, minerals, currents, with a smokey graphite long finish. A rich, soft, savory mouthfeel (this is no cherry cola Russian River bomb).

West slope is a limited production wine from the middle portion of the west slope block in their Carneros vineyard...get some if you can and give it some time in the cellar..
