Sipping Fine Wine

9.4

A blend of about 50% Syrah, rest Cab Sauv, Petit Verdot, Petite Sirah, Cab Franc, Sangiovese, Viognier & Merlot. Deep inky Ruby color with complex aromas of dark fruit, spice, almonds and wet earth. On the palate blackberry, currant and raspberry flavors, soft tannins on a long finish ending with leather, pepper, smoke and oak tones. Very Nice, a beauty. — a day ago

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. — 14 days ago

9.2

Ruby in color with a very wide reddish rim, and medium plus intensity.

Stinky nose (in a good way) that reminds me of Northern Rhône.

Medium bodied with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with cherries, raspberries, currants, light oak, tobacco leaf, herbs, spices, dark chocolates, barnyard, bitter herbs, light vegetables, earth, black tea, and black pepper.

Long finish with fine-grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This young Pinot Noir from California is already drinking beautifully. Elegant and interesting. Fruit forward with a touch of Burgundy in style.

Well balanced with nice complexity, and a great mouthfeel.

Needs 90 minutes in the decanter to open up properly, so be patient.

The nose feels like Northern Rhône, while the palate feels like Burgundy. What an interesting Pinot Noir.

This Single Vineyard Pinot will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to revisit it in 5 years and see how it evolves.

Good by itself or with food. A delicious sipping wine that I paired with cheeses and crackers.

100% Pinot Noir grapes were aged in (40% new) French Oak barrels for 16 months. Unfiltered, unfined and vegan. A small production of 7,350 bottles.

14% alcohol by volume.

92 points.
