More Drank Than Franc

There's something to be said about being fashionably late.

If you're going to make an entrance, you've got to be late. You've got to arrive after everyone else. You've got to march in, pop your cork, and say I'M HERE AND I HAVE A NOSE WITH HINTS OF CHOCOLATE AND VIOLET. And then everyone's going to be looking at you so you'd better be a Donati Late Harvest Cabernet Franc or you'll be very embarrassed.

But if you're not a dessert wine born from a select amount of fruit left to ripen on the vine, and if you're not a four pack of 375ml bottles, and you're not clad in a stylish label that's sure to impress... you might just want to arrive early. That way you can mingle and make friends in advance, and you won't have to worry about being upstaged.

Family, Estate, Vision.

It’s no secret Italians have a love for the vine in their blood – Ron Donati is no different.  In 1998 when he purchased the Paicines property his vision was for his son, Matt Donati, to grow high quality, unique grapes from the 9th oldest AVA in California. Soon, after rave reviews of the fruit, Ron Donati (ever the business man) got to thinking… good grapes make great wine. Thus is born Donati Family Vineyard.

In 2003 we produced Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Meritage, and Claret, Chardonnay, and Pinot Blanc. We held these in bottle until 2005 when we started hand selling the product to great restaurants, and boutique wine shops. Again, our ears were burning with positive reviews and re-orders from our customers. We had so many requests from the public to get their hands on this wine - we couldn’t turn them down. Though Paicines offers a lovely home for our grapes, with a population of 204 - it’s not the best place for a Tasting Room, so we chose Templeton, CA (right outside of Paso Robles) for our new home.
