Donnachadh Vineyard Pinot Noir 2023

9.1

This is a bigger wine than I remember. More brawny. A lot of baking spice and also spices in general. Almost a cumin component. There’s a lot of fruit but it is richer and darker cherry and berry. I’m guessing this will integrate better over time. — a month ago

Northern rhone, cool climate California. Earth, blood, strawberries, boysenberry, menthol, rock. Very good with food. So different from Zaca Mesa I had last night. I like both for different reasons. — 2 years ago

2019 vintage at Signature restaurant; quintessential Pinot with a bit of barn p-funk, fruit forward, very smooth and medium body. Excellent finish and paired nicely with truffle risotto — 3 years ago

9.2

Black cherry and plum fruit with bay leaf accents. I love the mouthfeel on this wine but I’m not crazy about the oaky vanilla that dominates the finish. May need to sit for awhile. — 6 years ago

Awesome! Dark fruits, baking spices, black pepper, cherry, bitter chocolate, and overall tartness that brings you back. Definitely has some years ahead but wow is this good. — 3 years ago

Swan Clone Donnachadh Vineyard Block 8 Pinot Noir 2020

Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego

9.3

2020 vintage. A tad earthier than the vast majority of Santa Rita Hills stuff I’ve ripped through. 13.5% ABV. Medium body. The expected SRH prettiness is front-loaded fruit with the dirtiness following on the finish. Excellent concentration and a whopping 75 cases made. — 4 years ago

Those Swan Clone Pinots can be 👌🏼

Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego

@Shay A Definitely. I’ll try to taste this again in 6 months. Thinking it’ll be slightly more settled down and could be a 9.4.
