The Donald--a blend of 60% Barbera, 30% Nebbiolo and 10% Syrah--is named after Donald Rossi, who devoted his life to aiding underprivileged youth, and part of the proceeds go support the association that bears his name (www.associazonedonaldrossi.it). Even at just 10% the Syrah seems to exert a lot of influence on the finished wine, imparting pepper and blackberry aromas and flavors. Seems a bit thin and astringent at this stage of its evolution.
