Tasting notes during visit to the winery where absolutely everything is done in-house by hand; preserving centuries old winemaking traditions. In the Tondonia offering one can really appreciate the time and patience dedicated to crafting this wine. The wine evolves to a rustic yet graceful profile with strong notes of dark berries with slight oak and dark chocolate. On the palate the wine is bliss, medium bodied, fully integrated, with balanced acidity and a long finish.

The juice is fermented in old large wooden “tinas,” then transferred to American oak barrels (made in house to medium toast specifications), stored underground in their +100 year old cellars for at least a year. After that it is bottled and stored in the same underground cellars and finally released about ten years later. Learning about their curated winemaking process was inspiring. — 8 months ago

Great value at $10. Drank with strip steaks. Well balanced for an inexpensive wine. — 5 years ago

So the 2010 is one of four vintages with the Seleccion Especial denotations. That means it’s supposed to be incredible. 2001 Vina Ardanza was got me started with wine (that was also an SE year). Not sure this approaches that just yet but it’s very solid. It’s possible this needs two or three years in the bottle to settle in. Right now it’s a bit watery but all the pieces are there.

Even better than the crazy-good 2007, the 2015 La Sangre de Jonata is sheer perfection in a glass and up with the finest Syrahs ever made in California! Checking in as a blend of 97% Syrah and 3% Viognier, aged in barrel, its saturated purple color is followed by out of this world aromatics black raspberries, smoked earth, graphite, game, violets and freshly crushed rock-like minerality. — 8 months ago

Soft and smokey firepit with razzcherry Sta Rita Hills heat. Smooth and dusty, alluring with ash. Likey likey. Green rhubarb in unbaked pie. Slurp it up. — 6 years ago
