The 2015 Rosé of Pinot Noir is bright, focused and finely cut. Cranberry, white pepper, chalk and flowers are some of the signatures in this super-appealing, chiseled Rosé from the team at Jonata. (AG) — 9 years ago

Violets, purple goodness. Big fruit. Big acid. Soft tannins. Better than Jonata? Different, but I'd say yes. — 9 years ago

Didn't have too much of it because I was already a few sheets to the wine but it was lovely nonetheless. That's what happens when you don't eat all day and do a tasting and a wine dinner! — 10 years ago

Years after meeting the Jonata guys, I'm still loving their wines. This one was entirely different the next day. It became a wine I love. — 9 years ago

Needs to open up a minute... Unripe fruit on the front... Strong alcohol on the nose... Wet stone/rubber undertone... Slightly smoky on the finish — 9 years ago

Pitch black in color (think young Ch. Pavie) and certainly past it's adolescence this actually shows very nice and proves that (certain) Chilean wines can age with grace.
In a blind tasting I would have guessed an older vintage of Jonata "Todos". — 10 years ago

Another post of my recent CA trip to see my daughter we visited Santa Barbara Winery Babcock. We tasted was Radical Pinot Noir from a small hillside in the heart of the Radian Vineyard, owned by grower Jonata Winery. Ruby red with purple tones and aromas of ripe fruits and complex spice. On the palate concentrated flavors of raspberry and cherry infused with dried aromatic herbs and fine tannins. The finish had a touch of smoky tones and lingered through the ending. Very Nice. Tasting Sample. — 9 years ago

Enjoyable, but surprisingly tastes like a high alcohol CA pinot (like Jonata). — 9 years ago

Great acidity, tropical notes of guava and tangerine, dry, mineral-driven finish. Great wine from the Jonata winemaker. #sauvignonblanc #california #2013 #theparing — 10 years ago
