Reserva de la Tierra

Satis Dei Exclusive Art Collection Syrah Garnacha 2023

Jeremiah Diaz
9.2

Deep purple in color; black cherries, plums, and cigar box on the nose; medium plus acidity; high tannins; tastes like plum sauce, blueberries, and wet slate with a long finish. Nellie didn't like it, but I did. — 20 days ago

Jonata Winery

Tierra Santa Ynez Valley Sangiovese 2018

Vanessa
9.0

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! — 3 months ago

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!

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. — 8 months ago

Medium to light body. Spicy, cherry, light tannins to start. As it opens, spiciness increases and raspberry emerges. — 12 days ago

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. — 6 months ago

TJ. Absolutely delicious. Much lighter than expected. Fruit forward, lots of vanilla, a lil jammy, simple, easy to drink. A lil Smokey on the nose, Ben and Mere both really enjoyed! Would and will buy again. — a month ago

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. — 5 months ago

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