Granted 2015 was not the best vintage. It was a dry and warm January - March resulting in a super early harvest. I love Donum wines, but this 2015 Ten Oaks is lacking intensity of fruit, overall structure, and finish. Donum wines have a house style that is very recognizable but this wine tastes like a low end régionales vin de Bourgogne. No offense to Bourgogne!

This was a strange pinot compared to the rest of the Donum line up. It was more Burgundian, earthy, and much less the flavor profile of Sonoma. Drank with 3 people and they were polite but declined on a refill.
