Post issue: Nose had some earthiness which was enjoyable and on the palate the fruit had some depth beyond typical west coast pinot. Finish on plate was a bit astringent which seems to be typical for the region. Acidity was less than typical burgundy profile.
Relative to my preferences and other options from burgundy I thought it wasn’t very good qpr at $90. Still a good bottle that I enjoyed and I am not sad I have three more in my cellar but relative QPR wasn’t there.

This is very much in Donum's style. Bright cherry and raspberry is balanced with earthy spices and fine tannins.

Medium-full bodied with lots of black cherry cola flavors. Warm baking spice on the finish. Fantastic wine!

Deep red cherry fruit. Medium - full bodied with medium acidity. Great finish that also shows earth notes.
