Donelan Kobler Family Vineyard Syrah Russian River Valley 2013

- Country USA
- Region Russian River Valley
- ABV 14,1%
- Producer Donelan
- Case size 12 / 75cl
- A floral and suave nose of grapefruit and apricot skins is poised by a savory, brutish palate of game, iron, and blood sausage.
- The Viognier continues to add its beautiful stone fruit component – namely, apricot skins – and a combination of vibrancy on the nose and finesse on the palate.
- The white pepper and peppered-salami qualities that are classic personality traits of Kobler are enhanced in this vintage by unusually increased notes of plum and currants on the nose.
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.
They believe that the best wines are not made but discovered and take pride in harnessing the greatest qualities and natural variations in a vineyard and a variety. The nose shows hints of grilled meats, confectionary notes, tobacco, and graphite. On the palate, richness and structure are in beautiful harmony, creating irresistible litheness. This wine is so beautiful in its youth that it can be hard to resist, but we believe time will reward you with this particular wine.
