Anne Moller-Racke knows Carneros. She has tended the vines here for more than 20 years. Since leaving Buena Vista in 2001, she has concentrated on one estate Pinot Noir (The Donum Estate) and the wines of Robert Stemmler, both sourced from the over 250 acre estate she retained adjacent to the Buena Vista property (originally named Tula Vista, it was rechristened The Donum Estate) The current winemaker is Kenneth Juhasz (also of Auteur). Anne was pouring a vertical of the Donum Estate Pinot Noir, 2003- 2004-2005. These are very Burgundian and earthy-styled Pinot Noirs, with explosive flavors of plums, candied cherries and a touch of game. Full and expansive in the mouth, they are classy and polished Pinot Noirs. The Donum Estate Pinot Noir is sold through a mailing list and on the website with limited retail distribution.
