Jonata is the central coast companion to Screaming Eagle. New to this market
Le Flor De Jonata 2006 a Sauv blanc, semillon blend.. interesting nose but not in a good way..and way over priced at $55
Le Corazon 2005 a blend with sweet vanilla nose and sweet fruits...good acidity and finish..dark purple. The bargain of the group at $80
Le Tierra de Jonata 2005 Sangiovese from central coast. A following of sweet fruit, not much on the way of aromas...some spice..very tight and generally boring..the fundamental question is when looking to transport Sangiovese are you looking to continue the tradition of what the varietal gives or get something more full bodied and juicy, in which case Grenache does the same.
La Desafio de Jonata 2005 Mostly Cab, and bordeaux blend. aroma of steak sauce, heinz or a-1
big tannins from fruit and barrel, some heat from high alcohol. definitely needs time to open up and let those tannins settle down to show off the fruit more..a long finish. Parker gave this wine 96 and it definitely has his style all over it. $130
La Sangre de Jonata 2005 Syrah and what a wonderful wine. Almost would have mistaken it for a Northern Rhone except for too much fruit. bacon fat all over the place. long finish.. favorite of the day but again.....$130
La Miel de Jonata NV a semillon and sauv blanc blend to resemble Sauterne but made in the desert,...and what a great dessert...round marshmellow flavors with a texture that doesnt want to stop. Cat Pee yellow and sweet nose...very pretty.. I will have some in the store for me if it doesnt sell...500ml around $80
