Weekend in San Jose for the Queen concert!! Enjoying a pinot and the pool! Pop and pour (young...would of loved a few more years on the bottle). A fascinating dark ruby red. On the nose: red fruit, plum, vanilla, olives. Taste: bright red cherry, spice, herbs, some chocolate...nice concentration and finish with a little tannic kick. — 7 years ago

Dark red color. In the nose — strong cherry with floral spice and hint of licorice. Taste — burst of cherry fruit, with vanilla and chocolate notes and some spice with a medium finish. It should tear of the Ram not horse. Worth visiting Donum Vineyards for a tasting and seeing the awesome art sculptures! — 8 years ago

Mellow tannins but has long finish. 8 years old and holding up. Fruit isn't as present but the acid and tannins are holding it together. Decent value for it's price in Chile. This is number two bottle I've liked from this producer. — 8 years ago

Bibiana came to Brasswood yesterday to talk about her wines and her storyline from Columbia to France to California. Showed her Donum Pinot and Russian river Chardonnay and Soberanes Syrah to the entire staff, barside. When asked about the obstacles to overcome in making fine wine here as opposed to there she answered, " there are no obstacles to making fine wine here in California. The obstacle is to do it , have access to the fruit and a means to make it. Otherwise , all preferences are for this place, California ." — 9 years ago

Amazed by this Chardonnay from the okanagan valley. Tons of minerality and beautifully balanced oak. Soft lemon and apple. Reminds me of Donum or Hanzell. — 12 years ago

New release from Donum. Spice (oak) is a bit overbearing for my taste. — 8 years ago

Nose has very approachable ripe raspberry and strawberry notes, to me classic, aged Russian River fruit, beautiful. Only a light trace of alcohol (14.4% on this one) at the trailing end of a deep sniff.

Palate is still concentrating, this needs much more air time, presently a light raspberry/strawberry/cherry note with a damp sand aspect, perhaps some dried orange peel too.

I'm looking for improvement as the night progresses...

24hr Update: Nose is similar, but now includes bruised fruits. Palate is nice, great, sappy, macerated cherry notes today, yum. — 8 years ago

Almost cola like with some effervescent. A lively acid for sure. With the duck and caviar- unbelievable — 9 years ago

Plum, tea leaves, dark cherry, a hint of exotic spice. A few years bottle age has done this well. Very nice. — 11 years ago

Solid as always. Ever since I started drinking Donum I just don't love this as much. Slight QPR penalty - perhaps I'm being too harsh. — 11 years ago
