"The 2009 Dominus is a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot. Deep garnet colored, it rolls easily, sensuously out of the glass with evolving fruit notes of baked blackcurrants, plum preserves, mulberries and fruitcake plus underlying suggestions of charcuterie, camphor, chocolate-covered cherries and candied violets with just a touch of cast iron pan. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is an exercise in balance, with loads of emerging black fruit and earthy layers and a solid line of finely grained tannins, finishing very long with a perfumed lift." - 99pts WA

"The 2016 Syrah Cuvée Christine shows just how compelling this vintage is at Donelan. Gracious and lifted, but showing striking depth, the Cuvée Christine is magnificently complete from the very first taste. A rush of dark red/purplish berry fruit, wild flowers, mint, pine, rose petal and spice builds as this classy, polished Syrah shows off its alluring personality. There is much to love about this arrestingly beautiful Syrah. "- 97 points Vinous Media

2016  Cabernet Sauvignon

"The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Waterhorse Ridge comes from a very small vineyard of about two acres - so small that the grapes are harvested together and co-vinified. It's generally a blend of about 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. It was aged in about 25% new wood. Medium ruby-purple, it has a pretty nose of blackcurrants, black cherries, dust and classic touches of blackcurrant bud and bay leaf with notes of chocolate-covered blueberries, fresh tobacco leaves and violets. Medium-bodied, it offers delicate intensity of classic, pure Cabernet flavors, with an elegant frame of finely grained tannins and excellent freshness to lift the finish. I very much enjoy this clean, pure, refreshing and no-makeup-added style of Cabernet Sauvignon!" - 91pts WA

"You can't help but taste the harvest heat in this wine, which brims with blackberry and cherry flavors that verge, not on raisins, but what happens when pie filling spills over into the pan and bakes. The wine is very high in alcohol and thus it's soft as chocolate pudding." - Wine Enthusiast
