Donkey & Goat Winery Large Format Library Selection
2013 Five Thirteen, Red Wine Blend, El Dorado
This is our signature red Rhone blend from the 2013 vintage in a custom wooden gift box.  

Josh Raynolds, writing for Antonio Galloni's Vinous awarded this wine 92pts saying, "Vibrant, sharply focused red berry, floral and Asian spice scents show excellent clarity and pick up a bright mineral element with aeration. Nervy and lithe, offering intense raspberry and blood orange flavors that deepen and become sweeter while maintaining vivacity. Silky tannins provide frame and gentle grip to the finish, which hangs on with strong, minerally tenacity."

Value: $85

Starting Bid: $45
