First winery on day two in Sonoma was Donelan Family Wines in Santa Rosa with Meredith. The last Rhone varietal red was the Walker Vine Hill Syrah. Sadly we were told that this was the last vintage that will be produced. This bottling is made up of 100% Syrah and is around 40-50% whole cluster fermented then aged for 20 months in 25% new French oak. 1,025 cases produced.
Insanely dark and inky purplish ruby red, completely coats the glass. Dark berries on the start of the nose followed up by cinnamon, cocoa, blueberries and some dustiness. Medium plus tannins (7/10) with a full body. Rich and layered palate with red currants, red plums, even a touch of blue fruits and some solid minerality. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2028. (93+)

2017 Bravo - Imperial Brown Ale
Deep caramel brown with light brown head. Dark nose with caramelized brown sugar, molasses, and honey with a little heat. Can tell it's a a high alcohol level get drunk from just smelling it. A little creamy and syrupy too. Full bodied and long finish. Could easily go with some dessert. — 9 years ago
Grapefruit. Apricot. Blood orange. Melon. Surprising palate weight and texture. Compelling. But mostly, look at that color! Deeeeee-licious. #skincontact #jolielaide @Scott Schultz — 11 years ago

2011 vintage
Мутный, нефильтрованный цвет. В аромате дым, переспелая малина, эстрагон, каперсы, молотый перец, жёлтые специи, мокрый булыжник. Во вкусе кизил, сушеная клюква, вишневый сок, прелая хвоя. Высокая кислотность, мягкие танины. Комплексности, возможно, не хватает, но фактура хорошая и выраженная. Чуть мешают едва ощутимая уксусная летучая кислотность и лёгкий жар на финише. — 11 years ago

Great wine — 11 years ago
