Chateau du Donjon 2008 Cuvée Prestige Red (Minervois)
- Online Exclusive
- $25
Beautiful gamy notes are backed by a lush fruit core of juicy, softly mulled boysenberry, blueberry and raspberry. It’s full and round on the palate, and there’s enough acidity and tannic structure to keep the rich flavors in check. Sweet spice and dusty bittersweet cocoa remain through the long close.

This blend of 60% Syrah, 40% Grenache starts off with scents of charred beef and smoke, then adds coffee and blackberry flavors to give it plenty of complexity. The tannins are soft, lingering on the finish with traces of caramel and vanilla. Drink it now and over the next few years.

Chateau du Donjon 2005 Rosé (Minervois)

The soft peach and berry flavors in this wine come across as slightly confected, but clean and fresh. It's on the full side, with a mouthfilling texture that could use just a touch more crispness to enliven it.
