Donati Family Vineyard Merlot is a bold yet silky red, offering a rich mix of dark fruit and dessert-like notes. Aromas of cherry, plum, raspberry, and mocha lead into plush flavors of blackberry, blueberry, chocolate, and molasses. Hints of toffee, vanilla, and clove round out the palate, supported by velvety tannins and a soft, balanced finish. Sourced from estate vineyards influenced by Monterey Bay’s cooling breezes and diverse soils, this Merlot is aged for 22 months in French and American oak. The result is a structured yet creamy wine, with notes of fennel pollen, dried cherry, and grilled herbs adding complexity. A Wine Enthusiast Editors’ Choice (92 pts), it's an expressive, food-friendly red with depth and charm.
