2018 Jonata 'El Alma de Jonata' Red Wine Ballard Canyon

(96 Points  -----  Vinous)

 

Jonata's Cabernet Franc-based red is so elegant and so gorgeous. Sweet floral notes, cedar, mocha, grilled herbs, licorice and sweet pipe tobacco give the 2018 striking aromatic intensity and depth that builds with air. Bright and beautifully focused to its core, the Alma is positively striking in 2018. (AG)   Review Date: 07/2020
