Donati Family Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 Review

Wow guys, wow. This wine is so damn good. And, at just over $20, one hell of a steal. If you see this bottle in the Cabernet Sauvignon section don’t blink, just grab it and go. It’s soft and voluptuous with a juicy fruit core you just wanna chew on, and the tannins are woven in beautifully, adding to the depth. There is a flickering of classic cracked black pepper on the nose and palate. Also on the nose you get a hint of raw meat, or an aroma akin to steak tartare. This bottle with a steak and you’ll freak out like me. I promise.
