JD 92 (6/2018): The 2016 Venus is a Roussanne-dominated white that includes 5% Viognier, sourced mostly from the Dry Stack Vineyard (the Viognier comes from the Kobler Vineyard). It offers clean, pure, vibrant Roussanne notes of white currants, white flowers, and citrus to go with a steely, focused style on the palate. A classic example of this variety, it’s going to benefit from a year in bottle and keep for a decade or more. This is another brilliant lineup of wines from the Donelan Family, with the wines made by Joe Nielson. While their estate Obsidian Vineyard was lost in the fires last year, they’re already in the process of planning and replanting the site, and I was thrilled to taste through a small retrospective from what’s unquestionably one of the great terroirs in California. Looking at the 2015s, which are by and large the current releases, these are structured, tannic wines that are going to benefit from short term cellaring.
WA 91 (6/2018): A blend of 95% Roussanne and 5% Viognier, the 2016 Venus opens with gorgeous white peach, spiced pears and apple tart with touches of orange blossom and beeswax. Medium to full-bodied with a lovely satiny texture and great freshness, it finishes long and spicy. 200 cases were made.
VM 90 (4/2018): The 2016 Venus is a classy, understated Roussanne-based white. The apricot, floral and chamomile notes are nicely delineated. This is an especially hushed white that speaks softly. Silky and nuanced, the Venus is all class. (Drink between 2018-2023). Antonio Galloni. |
