Just like eating blueberry pie!
Paired with a beautiful, roasted lamb sirloin.

Pretty consistently my favorite Donelan bottle. This one is very well balanced. Savory, accessible, dark red fruit, some tannins on the finish. 13.7 abv.

Blueberries, blackberries, and a bit of spice. Not exceptional but quite nice.

Purplish color and strong legs. Blueberry and peppered beef on the nose and palate. The finish is short, lacking and thin. Vibrant, but something is just missing here. Overall am super disappointed given the brand and price.

Nice deep purple color. Sents of leather and tar open being uncorked. Its medium to full bodied. Blackberries with firm tannins. Very nice wine!

Baking spices, ripe dark fruits and alcohol on the nose. The palate is filled with raisins, blackberry, currants and tar. Medium body. Gripping tannins. Medium finish. Good, but not worth the price tag.
