This wine has deservedly gotten excellent reviews. It is a wonderful Pinot Noir. Dark purple, full bodied, smoky oak scents, rich strawberry and cherry flavors. This is my second bottle of Dumon Pinot, both have been excellent.

We took this one to Charlie Palmer Steak to celebrate the wife’s birthday. The wine was in terrific shape and drank wonderfully. There is still some fruit to it and probably a a good few more years depending on your palate. It paired awesomely with the chicken as well.

Showing very well right now. Has developed additional complexity over the last few years while still maintaining its notes of strawberry, red cherry, and licorice/anise. There were moments I would swear I was smelling some kind of burgundy funk in the glass. Very enjoyable.

Wine Spectator 96 ! I suspect this is based on future potential and age-ability. Pulled 5 oz through Coravin. All components for a nice Pinot is there. Concentrated, tons of fruit but not OTT, and wonderful aroma. There is some tannins and a little etoh bite at the end. A couple more years and all that should integrate well. Bottle back to cellar (thanks to Coravin).

Extraordinary. One of the best California Pinot Noirs I have ever tasted. Amazing concentration and depth. Tasted blind against Kosta Browne and Kistler Pinots from the same vintage, and this was the clear favorite of the night.
Kudos to Donum for keeping production very small and producing stunning Pinot Noirs year in and year out.
