JONATA WINERY EL DESAFIO DE JONATA 2006 (2)

Santa Ynez Valley.

The 2006 El Desafio de Jonata, a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petit Verdot, and 1% Merlot, may be even better (it was scheduled to be bottled right after my visit). A beautiful black/purple color is accompanied by stunning aromas of creme de cassis, graphite, camphor, and incense. It exhibits tremendous intensity, beautiful sweet fruit, full-bodied power as well as purity, and a finish that lasts 45+ seconds. This amazing effort is the greatest Cabernet Sauvignon-based wine ever made in the Santa Ynez appellation. June 2008 WA (94-96)

JONATA WINERY EL DESAFIO DE JONATA 2007 (1)

Santa Ynez Valley.

The 2007 El Desafio de Jonata remains a youthful powerhouse at age ten, soaring from the glass with an extravagant bouquet of cassis, black truffle, cocoa, asphalt, smoke and cigar. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, rich and very ripe, with an expansive core of juicy fruit that has lost none of its youthful vitality and conceals the wine's tannins almost completely. The finish is long and intense. This will delight lovers of powerful, sun-kissed California Cabernet Sauvignon, and now's a great time to start pulling corks. WA 95
