Donum 2009 Thomas Estate Pinot Noir (Carneros)

Country: US / Thomas Estate
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Donum / Carneros

An excellent wine—it’s big and brawny, but magnificently packed with flavors of briary fruit, cola and spices. It has all the weight, depth and length one could want, yet it never loses its delicacy and elegance. It’s pretty tart in acidity, but that could help it develop. Try after 2015.
