Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2012

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.

Enjoyed this one with a juicy ribeye. Mellow nose. Surprising given the color concentration. Vanilla. Oak. Medium finish. Medium tannins. — 10 months ago

Jonata Winery

La Sangre de Jonata Ballard Canyon Syrah 2015

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. — 3 months ago

Sounds crazy, given the pricing, but underrated stuff.

La Côte Rousse Red Mountain Syrah 2010

#AgedWineTuesday

Inky in color with a short brick rim.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and a soft mouthfeel.

Showing black currants, cooked plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, herbs, spices, vegetables, black tea, tar, light earth and peppercorn.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 15 year old Washington Syrah is drinking very nicely now. In your face kind of wine. Bold, extracted and definitely delicious.

Good right out of the bottle, and better after 90 minutes of airtime.

Robert Parker 92 points. Wine Enthusiasts 93 points.

Peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

100% Syrah grapes from Red Mountain were aged in (50% new) French oak barrels for 12 months.

14.4% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$60.
