Donati 2006 Pinot Blanc (Paicines)
- Online Exclusive
- $15
Here’s a pretty good white that you can have as an alternative to Chardonnay. It’s creamy and full-bodied, with tangerine, peach custard and honeysuckle flavors. Could use greater acidity, because it’s a little on the soft side.

Donati 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Paicines)
- $30
From a Central Coast county south of San Francisco comes this easy, rather one-dimensional Cab. It’s rustic and fruity, with ripe currant, cherry liqueur and mocha flavors that are well-oaked.

Donati 2006 Pinot Grigio (Paicines)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
They left a lot of sweetness in this steel-fermented Pinot Grigio, so if you like that sugary edge, this one’s for you. The flavors are of vibrantly ripe tangerines, pineapples and fresh green apples.

Donati 2005 Merlot (Paicines)
- $25
Overly ripe and sugary sweet, this Merlot, with a splash of Cab, has a rustic feeling. There is ripe fruit and fine tannins, but the sweetness is a problem.

Donati 2005 Claret Red (Paicines)
- Online Exclusive
- $22
This is a Merlot-Cab blend, with some Syrah. It’s a rather dull, heavy wine, deficient in lively acidity, with flavors of blackberries, cherries and chocolate.

Donati 2005 Chardonnay (Paicines)
- $18
Overtly sweet, soft and syrupy, this Central Coast Chard has simple orange, almond cake, buttercream and honeysuckle flavors.
