Good stuff. - ripe fruit nose with green olive. Dense and smoky on the palate, less fruit than smoke but really tasty. Aerated first glass. Will reserve for tomorrow and see how Day 2-3 turn out. — 7 years ago

First winery on day two in Sonoma was Donelan Family Wines in Santa Rosa with Meredith. The next Rhone varietal red was the Cuvée Keltie Syrah. Made up of 100% Syrah from four vineyards in Sonoma County; Kobler Family, Steiner Ranch, Obsidian and Richard Family vineyards. This bottling is 100% whole cluster fermented in small batches then aged for 21 months in neutral French oak. Only 301 cases produced.

Dark ruby red with some violet hues. Complex and layered nose with leather, twigs, sweet spices, touch floral and dark red berries. Medium plus tannins (7.5/10) and full bodied. Rich palate with vanilla, cinnamon, smokiness, baking spices, dark cocoa, dark berries and a touch of light petrol. Long finish. Drink till 2030.

$$$ - Tasted at the winery. Retail price is $90.00. — 6 years ago

Even at half price from the winery I’m dissatisfied, all 3. Now I see why they were on sale
Rose of Syrah was probably the worst, horrible nose.
Bacigalupi Chardonnay was not bad but didn’t have the stuffing it had last time I opened one. — 5 years ago
