Single-Vineyard Reserve Wines

Carneros Estate Reserve Chardonnay

In exceptional vintages, we select a small portion of our Carneros Chardonnay to bottle separately under the “Reserve” label. In our case, the Reserve moniker is not meant to suggest a bigger, heavier wine but rather that we found some barrels that offered a unique expression of our vineyards that we wanted to showcase.

Donum Vineyard

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.
