Pinole Pinot Noir

The Pinole Pinot Noir is a new addition to our portfolio, sourced from the historic Savoy Vineyard in Anderson Valley. Originally established with the vision of producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Savoy is distinguished by its remarkable soil diversity, with four distinct soil types spread across this small ranch—each offering a unique expression. The block selected for our Pinole Pinot Noir features sandier soils that provide excellent drainage and promote deeper root development. The result is a lighter, brighter style of Pinot Noir with added complexity derived from the vines’ extensive root system.

Savoy Vineyard

In 2023, Donum acquired the iconic 52-acre Savoy Vineyard, a historic site planted in 1991 by Richard Savoy in the heart of Anderson Valley near the confluence of Gowan Creek and the Navarro River. Known for its cool climate, high winds and exceptional soil, Savoy is home to over 40 acres of established Pinot Noir and a small block of Chardonnay, with vines dating back to the mid-1990s. This acquisition marked Donum’s first established vineyard purchase and a significant milestone in expanding its estate portfolio. With the 2023 vintage, Donum introduced its first Savoy wines.
