Elegant Rhône. Soft and supple. Fragrant nose and even keeled tannins. Deep reich blackberry with hints of tobacco and cedar. Smooth mouthfeel and longer finish.

The first Syrah I have had that has the meaty aroma you hear about. But not for me. This wine is to jammy, syrupy for me. It became more agreeable after open 2 hours but not enough for me to buy again.

Guilty pleasures. Donelan wines are amazing. This is no exception. Smooth and silky with blackberries and raspberries. Tannins well integrated. A true delight @joedonelan Yum This cuvee is an unbelievable gem at sub $50. Keep the great wines coming.

Amazing juice. Full bodied with soft tannins. Light acidity. Massive cherries and raspberries on the pallet. I love Donelan juice
