This east-facing site of Calera clone has produced a truly beautiful wine; a dynamo Carneros Pinot Noir from Donum Estate. The afternoon shading makes a more elegant, lighter-styled wine. The 67% new French Oak does not mute the wine's delicate character one iota. Rich wild violet aromatics, scents of rolled hay on a hot summer day and tangy blackberries are accented by savoury white pepper. The palate is a thoughtful exercise in hedonism. Streaks of pencil lead, crushed flint and five-star anise morph into sous bois, balsamic, soy and blue and blackberry fruits. It's a beautifully made wine.
