The Donum Ranch covers the slopes of three hills in the Carneros region just north of San Pablo Bay. Nestled amid these hills is a 91-acre vineyard, planted to a diverse collection of Dijon clones and heirloom selections of Pinot Noir. Our Carneros Estate-grown Pinot Noir not only comes from the best blocks in our vineyard, but is also a selection of the most appealing barrels within each lot. The Donum Carneros Pinot Noir includes fruit from our newest vineyard blocks at the front of the property as well as the established blocks at the back of the vineyard, planted in 1990.
The 2017 Carneros Estate pinot is dark ruby in color, with aromas of plum, blackberry, vanilla and sassafras. The palate is juicy and ripe, with mixed red berries, plum, and elegant tannin to frame the rich flavors. The finished remains balanced, with signature Carneros acidity balancing intense fruit and vanilla notes.
