Tierra De Frontos

Jonata Winery

Tierra Santa Ynez Valley Sangiovese 2018

This wine has a medium ruby hue (trending deep in color) with robust and layered aromas and flavors that include strawberry sauce (think fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt), raspberry coulis, tart cherry, rose water, tomato leaf, mint, black licorice, anise, vanilla, and pipe tobacco.

On the palate, it’s dry, with medium (+) acidity, a medium body, medium alcohol (13%) and medium fine grained, soft tannins.

It’s a delicious and versatile wine. And fun to taste a California expression of Sangiovese outside of its homeland in Italy!

Is the alcohol really only 13%? Aside from some of the Hilt wines, I can’t say I recall a Jonata wine under 14.

@Daniel veit I double checked and indeed it was 13% ABV. Must have been a cooler year or perhaps an earlier harvest … it was still ripe & certainly delish on the aroma and flavor front!

Bodegas Mano a Mano

Vino de la Tierra de Castilla Tempranillo

Had the 2019 in June of 2024. Really tasty wine. Dark fruits- black cherry jam with some black berry and red currants. Oak presence adds vanilla with a hint of licorice. Big wine- 14.5 ABV but was really tasty. Enjoyed and would buy again. — 5 months ago

Tierra Alta Vineyard Syrah 2004

Blue and black fruit aromas and flavors, rich but not overripe, nicely balanced, color shows some browning, this seems mature, should hold for a few more years at least, long finish. — 4 months ago

So, I last had this TEN years ago, and speculated that it was mature then, but I obviously underestimated its staying power!!

Halcon Vineyards

Tierra Petite Sirah 2019

Should have let this age. Wine Enthusiast recommended opening in 2026, found the article after I’d already opened the bottle. I let it breathe for over an hour but still just intense booze and smoke aromas. — 6 months ago
