Jonata TODOS Ballard Canyon Red Blend 2019 Rated 97WE

Wine Enthusiast Review
Rated 97
Winemaker Matt Dees is considered one of the best winemakers anywhere, and this blend is ample reason to believe the hype. Intense, focused and dry but rich aromas of dark fruit, roasted wood, crushed rocks and wild herb enliven the nose, while the palate is weighty yet expertly tense. Flavors of dried red fruit, peppery spice and milk chocolate float into the finish.

Wine Tasting Notes
Jonata TODOS Ballard Canyon Red Blend showcases a captivating blend of incense, Nag Champa fragrance, bidis, clove, cigar, black and red licorice. It exudes a dark and brooding character with hints of sweet blackberries, blueberries, cinnamon, baking spice, black figs, and cracked white pepper. The 2013 Todos is reminiscent of its power and breadth. Currently, it presents a salty and tight profile, with a spicy and dark allure. The wine boasts a lovely depth of fruit, with tannins that gradually build on the palate and envelop the entire mouth. It is a bundle of fruit encased in a complex structure that will greatly benefit from decanting or a few years of cellaring.
