Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

The 2019 Donati Family Vineyards Claret offers aromas of cherry cola, cherry, raspberry, chocolate powder, tootsie roll, caramel and vanilla. On the palate there is bright, clean acidity. Pomegranate notes balanced with spices of nutmeg and white pepper, as well as rhubarb and cherry. Integrated medium tannins do not dominate.

Blend: 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 39% Merlot, 5% Malbec, 5% Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc

Professional Ratings

  • 90
    Pretty glossy and generous with some white pepper, dark chocolate, blackberries and tobacco. Savory plums, too. Rich and flavorful with dusty tannins on the medium-bodied palate. Quite resolved and savory with some vanilla spices looming in a medium-long finish. Generous in the end.
  • 90

    This stainless steel- fermented blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvi- gnon and 39% Merlot with smaller portions of Malbec, Petit Verdot, and Cab Franc aged for 20 months in a combination of new French, American, and Eastern European oak. Crushed cherry and a hint of cin- namon appear as both aromas and flavors. Dried roses, charred oak, tobacco, and cof- fee bean linger through the finish.

Donati Family Vineyards, California
Donati Family Vineyards Templeton Winery Winery Image

As a young boy, Ron Donati grew up in South San Francisco, the son of a first generation Italian-American family. His grandfather Albino Donati made his own wine for the family dinner table. Ron has carried that legacy forward with the mission of producing wines of exceptional quality regardless of budget.

Ron and his three sons Matt, Mark and Brad established Donati Family Vineyard in 1998. They acquired vineyards in the small town of Paicines, CA, located on California's Central Coast. The location enjoys long warm days followed by cool nights thanks to the marine influence of the Monterey Bay, creating an ideal environment for growing premium wine grapes. Paicines grapes are sought after by well-known established brands as well as discerning small production wineries alike.

The core of Donati Family Vineyard's award- winning wine portfolio has always been focused on Bordeaux varieties. These include Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, as well as high-quality Meritage-style blends, in addition to our family reserve wines that include Ezio Cabernet and The Immigrant, named after Ron's father and grandfather, respectively. The versatility of the Paicines AVA allows the winery to also produce select amounts of Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Syrah, and Grenache. All of the fruit is sourced from our sustainably farmed estate vineyards.

The Donati Family Vineyard winery is located in Templeton, California, in the heart of Paso Robles Wine Country. It was purchased in 2007 and remodeled extensively to create a warm and welcoming tasting room and hospitality center, as well as an outdoor picnic area with Bocce courts.
