2018 Jonata 'Todos' Red Blend Santa Ynez Valley

Winemaker Notes: More open and red in its profile than the dark and brooding Sangre. Constantly changing nose of strawberries, raspberry, pastis, sage, tobacco and grilled meat. Massive scoop of sweet red fruit/sweet cream on palate that quickly moves to savory cured meat notes. Remains fresh and charming and moves seamlessly to the chalky and coating tannins that emerge on the mineral-driven finish. Notes of Mexican chocolate. Tremendous life ahead.

Expansive and focused, savory and chewy. This blend represents the perfect lens through which to view the confluence of the Santa Barbara sun and the Jonata sandy soils. 

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Jeb Dunnuck - "Always a good value, the 2018 Todos checks in as a kitchen sink blend of 45% Syrah, 21% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Petit Verdot, 9% Petite Sirah, and the rest Merlot and other miscellaneous varieties. Its inky, glass-staining purple color is followed by a beautiful bouquet of smoked black fruits, bouquet garni, peppered meat, and hints of crushed rock. It's rich, medium to full-bodied, beautifully balanced, and just a gorgeous wine. (93-95pts)"


James Suckling - "Opulent and elevated on the nose with black truffle, blackberries, flowers and orange blossom. Medium-to full-bodied, rich, round and juicy. Lots going on here. A little time in the bottle with soften it. Syrah, cabernet sauvignon, merlot, petite sirah and others. Drink or hold."
