2013 Donum Single Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir

14.1% alc., pH 3.65, TA 0.58, 423 cases, $72. Sourced from the Angel Camp Vineyard located in the deep end of the Anderson Valley north of Philo. Seven clones of Pinot Noir in volcanic, sandy soil at 500 feet elevation. A barrel-selected blend from all the vineyard blocks. 6-day cold soak, extended maceration of 20 to 26 days. · Moderate reddish purple color in the glass. A forward drinking wine, offering aromas and flavors of black cherry, blackberry jam, vanilla and toast. Plenty of luscious fruit goodness with matched tannins, complimentary oak and a charge of fruit on the finish. Ripe flavors but not too ripe. Score: 91. Reviewed March 12, 2016
