Sourced from the estate's best blocks, this opens in a seductive whiff of bay leaf and sour, muddled cherry and strawberry, with lacings of orange for refreshing tang. Full bodied and concentrated, with sizable tannin providing structure and complexity, the density is balanced by ample acidity.

Wine Spectator
While taut, the flavors fan out, extending the snappy wild berry and blackberry to touches of spice and light oak. Most impressive are the depth, density and length of the finish, keeping you coming back for another sip. Drink now through 2022.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2013 Pinot Noir Carneros Estate is another big-time winner from Donum. Loads of deep ruby color, lush black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, earth, spice, sandalwood, a touch of forest floor and a long finish make for a complex, impressive Pinot Noir to drink over the next decade.

Donum is a leader in single-vineyard, single-appellation Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Northern California. Donum's terroir-driven wines reflect the energy and complexity of some of the most celebrated regions in Northern California, including Carneros, Russian River Valley, and Anderson Valley.
Donum's winemaking philosophy has never wavered: to make the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in California while also preserving natural resources. Donum is Latin for Gift, and the Donum team considers wine to be a gift of the land. Donum respects this gift by keeping its focus on healthy, living soils. Donum achieved the highest level of organic certification as one of the first wineries in Sonoma County to achieve Regenerative Organic Certified® (ROC) status for all its Estate vineyards. Donum's farming and winemaking team are constantly innovating and testing new techniques and farming practices including soil enrichment, integrated pest management, and encouraging biodiversity around the vineyards. Donum is also certified organic from the California Certified Organic Farming Association (CCOF).
Founded in 2001, the Donum Estate is located in the acclaimed wine region of Carneros, nestled between Napa and Sonoma Counties. The Estate includes a winemaking facility, a contemporary hospitality experience, an organic farm and one of the largest accessible private sculpture collections in the world – The Donum Collection. With more than 50 monumental works of art – of which over a third are site-specific – the evolving Collection brings together a global community of artists and leading practitioners from 18 nations across 6 continents, including Ai Weiwei, Ghada Amer, Doug Aitken, Lynda Benglis, Louise Bourgeois, Keith Haring and Subodh Gupta.
At the intersection of fine wine, sustainable farming and world-class art, Donum connects a global community and creates holistic, sensory wine experiences that have made it an international destination.
