Donelan Venus White, Sonoma County, USA 2018 Tomato-based sauces it has a rock-solid backbone

it has a rock-solid backbone of grainy tannins and compelling freshness

All come from the granitic soils of Chateau The´baud

liquorice and spices

There is fantastic purity of black fruit with blackberries and ripe raspberries

Donelan Venus White, Sonoma County, USA 2018 Tomato-based sauces it has a rock-solid backboneThis is 95% Roussanne and 5% Viognier, the grapes grown in both Bennett and Green valleys and the wine aged in neutral oak. Viscous on the palate, it offers earthy, balanced flavors of honeysuckle, peach and lychee, with bright, underlying acidity providing consistent lift. The finish is creamy and full. 93 Pts Wine Enthusiast
