The 2016 La Sangre de Jonata (98% Syrah and 2% Viognier) is a beautiful follow on to the sensational 2015 and has a layered, multi-dimensional, massive profile. Blackcurrants, blackberries, lavender, bacon fat, and spring flower notes all flow to a seriously rich, powerful wine that stays light and graceful, with awesome tannin quality. It's another tour de force that reminds me of the 2007. It shuts down with extended air time (I followed this bottle for two days) and while it can certainly be enjoyed today, it won't hit prime time for another 4-6 years and should keep for two decades or more.
96 Points, Decanter (12/2020)
A massive, burly nose of eucalyptus, huckleberry, coffee and earthy mesquite wood. The flavours follow the nose, within a powerful, muscular frame. A seemingly endless finish of charred black fruits, spice and pepper. An in-your-face style yet still balanced. For those seeking a blockbuster, it doesn’t get much better. (ML)
96+ Points, Vinous (09/2018)
The 2016 La Sangre de Jonata is a wine of real substance and depth. In 2016, the La Sangre is distinguished by its red fruit profile, freshness and vibrant, focused personality, all of which should allow it to age gracefully for a number of years. The 2016 is not as overt as some previous versions have been, but that is probably a very good thing for its longer term prospects. Time in the glass brings out the wine's underlying richness and pedigree. (AG)
