@ Il Vino E Vino - Really tasty, really smooth but also heavy, good for cocktail and drinks night but not steak night wine — 6 years ago

Damn fine rendition as well. A bit more masculine than the Latta, but still vey representative of what Grenache should be... all red fruits and sandalwood. — 7 years ago

From Andrew Latta, the guy behind the guy at K Vintners for the last decade. 60% Cab/40% Malbec. Blows the doors off of the Charles & Charles Post 35. This is fresh and vivid, with flowers, tobacco and dark fruit, but light on it's feet. Very easy drinker. — 8 years ago

New project by Charles Smith, doing chardonnay only. Made by Brennon Leighton and Andrew Latta, the main winemakers for Charles Smith. One of the best Washington chardonnay I've had of late. Hints of toast and flint, lush on the palate. Not overdone. — 9 years ago

Pronounced Ho-notta (but Ho-latta is also acceptable). The name pays homage to the 1845 Spanish land grant, Rancho San Carlos de Jonata. At the time the land grant covered a large part of the Santa Ynez Valley. Today’s Jonata is at the heart of the former land grant. The Jonata name was borrowed by the first pioneers from the local Chumash Indian and means “tall oak”. Prior to planting the vineyards, Jonata had the viticultural team from Château Latour do a survey of the 600 acre property to determine which sites would support which types of grapes. Latour returned with a preliminary verdict: plant asparagus. El Desafio! This wine represents Jonata’s defiance and uprising to that challenge. 3 hours open and it’s absolutely stunning... cassis for days... so much mint... and savoriness... and chocolate... so classic Cali Cabernet, but still terroir-driven. — 6 years ago

Beautiful Pinot Noir; slightly stalkiness, mulch, amaro and dark Forrest fruits. Lovely tension and grip with a real thrust in its finish. — 7 years ago

On first opening I wasn't sure, and now I've nearly finished the bottle. Savoury, rusty coloured Nebbiolo. Yes it's very very lovely. 2014. — 7 years ago

Exciting new range from local young gun Owen Latta. This sings of pure dark cherry with integrated stems & slight mint notes. Bright, sappy, lip smackingly enjoyable. Will hit the MH list soon. — 9 years ago
