Russian River Reserve Pinot Noir 2021

The Donum Estate was founded in 2001 by German winemaker Anne Moller-Racke – with the conviction that nature is a gift (Latin: donum). With dedication, she developed the now award-winning winery in the Sonoma-Carneros region and laid the foundation for a Burgundian-inspired style. Today, Donum encompasses over 25 individual vineyards, each with its own microclimate and character, noticeably expressed in its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
In 2011, Danish entrepreneurs and art collectors Allan and Mei Warburg took over the winery and established the Donum Collection. Since then, over 50 large-format sculptures by international artists have shaped the estate. Interiors and vine landscapes merge into a walkable gallery. Particularly impressive is Ai Weiwei's "Circle of Animals / Zodiac Heads," which depicts the Chinese zodiac signs amidst the vines and adorns the winery's bottle label each year. Works by Louise Bourgeois, Yayoi Kusama, Keith Haring, and Anselm Kiefer make a visit feel like a museum experience without walls.
Today, the vineyards span approximately 137 hectares – divided into four Californian regions: Carneros, Russian River Valley, Sonoma Coast, and Anderson Valley. Each vineyard is cultivated, harvested, and vinified individually. The goal: to bring the authentic and pure character of each site into the bottles. Every wine is a work of art, driven by a clear idea: the gift of nature, in its most beautiful form.
