Donati 2011 The Immigrant Red (Paicines)

Country: US / The Immigrant
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Donati / Paicines

This Merlot-based blend is dry, hard in tannins and brisk in acids. It has an intense core of blackberries, black currants and oak. Ready to drink now, it needs rich, oily foods, like short ribs, to cut through the astringency.
