Carneros Pinot Noir & Chardonnay

Carneros Pinot Noir

Our Carneros Estate Pinot Noir is our flagship wine, made every vintage since our winery’s inception in 2001. Nestled among 120 acres of vines located in Carneros AVA, just north of the San Pablo Bay, our Estate offers a diverse selection of Dijon and heirloom clones. Our Carneros Estate Pinot Noir is a blend of fruit from our newest to most established vineyard blocks, planted in 1990, using native yeast fermentation. Each block is harvested, fermented separately and aged in French oak for about 16 months. For the final blend, we select only the finest barrels to represent our Estate’s unique terroir and winegrowing region.

Spanning nearly 200 acres, the Donum Vineyard is home to our oldest plantings, the Donum Home, our state-of-the-art production facility, and our renowned art collection, The Donum Collection. Nestled in the rolling hills that rise from the San Pablo Bay, the vineyard is divided into more than 25 distinct blocks and sub-blocks, each showcasing a diverse array of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay clones—including a proprietary Donum clone and heirloom selections. Planted between 1990 and 2022, these estate vines are meticulously farmed by Donum’s dedicated winemaking and vineyard teams.
