  July 26, 2015 - Donelan 2014 Rosé (SRP $24): When your day calls for something bright and refreshing, look no further than this tasty rosé. A blend of 55% Syrah, 29% Grenache, and 16% Pinot Noir, it pours a lovely pale salmon color with a light pink hue. The wine offers vibrant flavors of red berry fruit and fleshy citrus fruit followed by tropical nuances. Overall, this is a very appealing wine with driving acidity and terrific verve that’s rounded by a fresh and crisp finish. Made from the saignée method, where a small amount of juice is bled away from the skins to increase the intensity of a red wine, winemaker Joe Nielsen says: “Think of it as the 2014 vintage unplugged – an acoustic version of the reds in barrel.” Approximately 290 cases of this wine were produced. Region: Sonoma County, California. Other info: ABV 13.3%, fermented in neutral barrels, cork enclosure). LINK to post: http://bit.ly/1epr6LQ

  July 5, 2015 - The perfumed nose of Grenache (29%) intermingles with the elegance of cool-climate Syrah (55%) and Pinot Noir (16%) in this lovely, smooth and complex wine. Watermelon and tropical fruit give way to serious acidity, making this a great companion for lighter summertime fare.
