Donelan 2009 Two Brothers Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)

Country: US / Two Brothers
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Donelan / Sonoma Coast

Rhône specialist Donelan ventures into Burgundian territory with this Pinot Noir, with good results. The grapes were grown in the wild Fort Ross area, and the wine shows typical cool-climate acidity and a feral quality to the wild berry, cherry and spice flavors. A fascinating wine that should develop over the next eight years.
