Noted wine collector and wine writer Erol Senel has selected the 2009 Donelan Venus as his #9 wine of 2011.  Senel writes that Donelan’s “line-up of Rhone varietals is, in my opinion, second-to-none in California and rivals the greatness of the royalty found in the Rhone itself!”

Thank you Erol for such kind words.  In giving the Venus 94 points Senel notes “the ’09 Venus is no exception to the trend of amazing wines coming out of this winery.”  Read the full review and give the wine a try by contacting us, it is nearly sold out!
