Donum Estate Grown Carneros Pinot Noir 2012

$72

Limited new release from one of California's hottest Pinot producers! Anne Moller Racke planned and planted Donum's Russian River vineyard in the mid-1990s and has farmed the property ever since.  The Donum 2010 Estate Pinot Noir Carneros is always a best barrel selection from the less vigorous blocks which consistently show something special. 91 Points Robert Parker: "The 2012 Pinot Noir Estate Carneros boasts a creamy-textured, sexy, almost slutty personality revealing a deep plum/ruby color, loads of berry and black cherry fruit, soft tannins, a silky, low acid character and terrific purity as well as lushness. It is a sumptuous, medium-bodied Pinot to drink over the next 4-5 years.

One of my favorite Pinot producers. The 2012 does not disappoint. Loads of full bodied flavors of dark, expansive fruit. This is a cab drinker's Pinot. Rich and complex with tiers of vibrant raspberry and blackberry. Very approachable. Drinking extremely well now.

Earth, black and red fruit with cherry cola. A touch of funk. Nice Carneros example.
