Tasting Notes

WA91

The 2012 Pinot Noir Estate Anderson Valley is a beauty. Its deep ruby/blue color is accompanied by glorious aromas of violets, blueberries and raspberries, a medium-bodied mouthfeel, and terrific purity, texture and length.

CG91

When it comes to fruity precision and careful crafting, Donum’s Carneros appellation offering does not take a back seat to its pricier, single-site siblings, and it, in fact, is a first-rate Pinot Noir by any and all measures. Its insistent, very well-focused, varietal fruit is played against a judicious dollop of complementary sweet oak, and, while very rich stuff, it is also impeccably balanced and bright. While eminently enjoyable now, it very much wants age to grow into its best, and we recommend it be held for at least three or four years.
