Red	2008 Donelan Syrah Cuvée Keltie Sonoma County more	Options Post a Comment View dmalcolm's profile Report Issue 4/20/2014 - dmalcolm wrote: 83 points Clearly syrah, this had an enticing nose of dark berries, black pepper and vanilla with some green steminess. On the palate, along with some noticeable heat this displayed an abundance of blueberries, blackberries, cherries and spicy oak. A huge wine. Very ripe, liqueur-like.

My score of 83 indicates this is merely a good wine, and I just don't think it's really any better than that. For me, the noticeably high alcohol and excessive oak treatment keep this from being anything more than 'good'.
