HMMeyer reviewed Dona Paula Estate Shiraz/Malbec 2007. (3/5)
On Oct 30

Tastes of leather, rich berries and cream all aged in oak. A nice malbec with hints of spices typical of a shiraz. Very drinkable by itself.

Starting at $13.49 Snoothrank: 3/5

A surprising little gem with the essence of Chile, very ripe blueberries, and deep fruit at the front that finishes with a deep leather flavor.

On Feb 5

A delightful nose, with hints of sweet berries, roses, and a subtle taste of terragon. Is nice and clean and works well by itself, that said, it's a tad thin, and more delicate than most...

While I always appreiate the Duckhorn family of wines, this wine is big, dusty, with hints of tobacco. But I've had fuller wines in this family, I missed the lack of depth that I've...

"Agreed. Not were we unimpressed with the 2005 WS, we were upset at this most recent price hike, b/c they were pricing it like it was their late 90’s vintages, which were awesome. "

"I agree. It had a nice nose but we thought the acidity was too strong and it was overall lacking in dimension. It is amazing how different the various WS vineyards can be. So far not impressed with 2005 and am holding off on 2006 because of this. They have been tasting too young."

"Hey! I noticed you had the 2005 Russian River WS. We were a bit underwhelmed. It was good, just not what we were hoping for. We built it up too much maybe, What'd you think?"
