"Have you seen the recent Pinot Noir issue of the Wine Spectator? We are all very excited that after ten years of hard work and dedication, Donum was named as one of the grand cru vineyards of California." - Excerpt from Anne Moller Racke - Fall/Winter 2011 Newsletter

The Donum Estate is both a place and a unique project.

In fact, it’s three places. Donum Ranch is a 200-acre property with 70 acres devoted to vines located on gently rolling hills that rise up from San Pablo Bay in Carneros. Less than a mile away is the venerable 20-acre Ferguson Block. And the 11 acres of Nugent Vineyards lie to the north in the Russian River Valley.

We farm all three vineyards, which provide superlative estate grown fruit for our "ultimate Pinot Noir project."Based on a Burgundian grand cru model, this program's goal is to produce the finest Pinot Noir and Chardonnay possible.
