Donelan’s Cushing’s Block Pinot Noir 2018 is one of those rare finds—single-vineyard, micro-production, and nearly impossible to source at a discount. But here we are, offering it at an unheard-of price.
This is a Pinot from Bennett Valley—elevated, cool-climate fruit, rich volcanic soils, and incredible clonal material (Swan, Calera, Pommard). The result? A lush, age-worthy Pinot Noir with notes of black cherry, kirsch, baking spice, forest floor, and silky tannins.
Vivino reviewers are blown away:
“Deep, rich Sonoma Pinot. Black cherry, light caramel, some baking spices, silky texture…” – Rob H.
“Luscious… well balanced… long finish that lingers longer than expected.” – Barbara L.
Crafted by David Milner, the winemaker behind Donelan’s small-lot program, and part of a winery known for precision, purity, and patience. These wines are typically reserved for mailing list insiders—but we scored a small parcel at an unbeatable price.Compare this to cult legends like Sea Smoke and Kosta Browne—act fast. This kind of deal on premium Pinot doesn't last.
