Tasting notes
Coming from very old vines (37-year-old vines), the 2015 Pinot Noir Donum Vineyard offers lots of black cherry, framboise, dried violets and spice characteristics in its elegant, seamless, yet still voluptuous and layered profile. Perfumed and complex aromatically, it's silky and refined on the palate, with present, yet polished tannin. This terrific 2015 has everything; complexity, volume, depth and length. Drink it anytime over the coming decade. There’s a scant 62 cases made.

The 2015 Pinot Noir Donum Vineyard is bright and nicely focused, with plenty of red cherry, cranberry and blood orange character. This is an especially fresh, vibrant wine for the year. The 2015 was done with fully destemmed fruit. I would give it a few more months in bottle to come together. This is very nicely done.
