Donum 2010 Tenth Anniversary Estate Grown Pinot Noir (Carneros)

Country: US / Tenth Anniversary Estate Grown
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Donum / Carneros

Extraordinarily ripe and flamboyant, starting with a tsunami of ripe cherry and raspberry jam, then leading to a finish rich in spices and warm liqueur. The wine’s tannins and acids fortunately provide firm structure. It’s a bit obvious now in its seductive appeal, but cellaring for 5–6 years should bring out earthier nuances.
