Donelan Richards Family Vineyard Syrah Sonoma Valley 2012
- Country USA
- Region Annadel State Park
- ABV 14.7%
- Case size 12 / 75cl
- The aromatics remain fresh and youthful, yet below the surface lies mystery and complexity – herb-encrusted lamb, graphite, freshly-cut lavender, and cherry liqueur. The palate of the wine starts with such a distinct sensation, like the first spoonful of chocolate mousse, followed by a complex and structured mid-palate that cradles a very full and compelling finish.
97 Points, Jeb Dunnock
“A wine I followed for multiple days, the 2012 Syrah Richards Family Vineyard is another incredible effort that I suspect will merit an even higher score in another few years. Possessing a deep purple, mostly opaque color as well as a kaleidoscope of blackberry, currants, violets, decaying flowers, cured meats, and pepper, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, building, ripe tannin, perfectly integrated acidity, and a great finish. It’s surprisingly structured, tannic, and closed, especially for 2012, so forget bottles for a good 3-4 years.”
2020-2035
The company motto is˜Wine is a Journey, not a Destination and gives a clear indication of the ethos of Donelan Family Wines.Founded by Joe Donelan, who now runs the business alongside his sons Cushing and Tripp, Donelan is a small, boutique Sonoma winery producing Syrah, Grenache, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Roussanne and Viognier. Producing just 8,000 cases per year they prize quality over all other factors. Simply put, they think wine should taste great and work with every vintage and every grape, to achieve this goal, always recognising that next year will bring another step on the road.
