Jonata Winery

El Alma de Jonata Ballard Canyon Cabernet Franc Blend 2006

2006 vintage. 426 cases produced, 3rd vintage from Jonata. Good fill and excellent (if slightly dry) cork. Decanted with little sed and tasted after 2.25 hours. Whiffable, earthy nose. Light-medium body. Tremendous, dark cherry concentration flavor-wise. A token offering of richness perceived just behind the front teeth on the roof of the mouth/palate. Instructive. 7.6.24. — 20 days ago

Seymour's Vineyard Syrah 2000

A bit of air is needed for it to show the savory meaty quality. The juice is well balanced and not showing any heat even @ 15.6 abv — 21 days ago

Tous les Jours Santa Ynez Valley Syrah 2020

Haven’t had wine in a while but bought this after a wine tasting at the Classic Market Senoia . (Pairs well with Samoas Girl Scout cookies). Very sad times in America tonight. Wine reminding me of beauty. This one hits right. — 13 days ago
