A sense of place. A sense of wonder. A sense of taste. C. Donatiello is a new Pinot Noir and Chardonnay producer on Westside Road. The grounds are stunning—from tiered gardens in front of the winery to the towering redwoods around the estate. The winery has a seasonal aroma garden made up of a myriad of plants and trees designed to mirror the notes found in the C. Donatiello wines. All their offerings are excellent, deep, delicious and very much worthy of your attention.
Proprieter Chris Donatiello spent many years in New York on the marketing side of wine and spirits, working with well known luxury brands. Eager to combine his business expertise, entrepreneurial spirit, and love of wine, Chris headed west to create a boutique winery in the Russian River Valley.
Winemaker Webster Marquez helps craft wines that are representative of their terroir and are fun to drink. He does this by spending long hours in the vineyards and treating the grapes with care and respect in the winery. He especially loves making Russian River Valley wines because of the way they express their climate, vintage, and vineyard. In addition to his work at C. Donatiello, he co-owns a small label called Anthill Farms.
2006 C. Donatiello Pinot Noir $33.99
The source of the grapes for the 2006 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir from vineyards throughout the valley. As a result, each unique site contributes different characteristics to the wine. The combination of complex soils coupled with the valley’s foggy mornings and sunny days create wines of depth, stature, and substance.
Seamless, balanced, and imbued with a sense of place, the 2006 Russian River Pinot Noir marries the warmth of ripe, sunny fruit to the powerful viticulture born from the Russian River valley’s ideal climate. Featuring notes of spicy black pepper, dried cranberries, mocha, and cherry, it comes on strong and finishes clean.
