Jonata Winery La Sangre de Jonata Ballard Canyon Syrah 2014
Unquestionably the star of the show is the 2014 La Sangre de Jonata and it's a more finesse driven elegant cool climate example of the cuvée than normal. Reminding me of an Hermitage from Bessards it offers gorgeous notes of blackberries cassis leather scorched earth and pepper. Possessing full-bodied richness firm polished tannin and a focused finish it will be more approachable that most vintage of this cuvee yet I still wouldn't touch bottles for 3-5 years. If you must drink a bottle over the coming couple of years give it a 2-hour decant. 99 Points – Jeb Dunnuck<br><br><br /><br /><br />A polished and perfumed Sangre in the same family as our favorite vintages: 2006 2008 and 2010. While it certainly doesn’t lack power it wows with its silky fruit and seductive structure. Just open enough to enjoy today and endowed with the muscle to last a decade this Sangre showcases the maturing Syrah vines at Jonata. It seems to gain momentum with every new vintage. Certainly no shrinking violet…more of a rose about to bloom." Matt Dees Winemaker

Another great last minute gathering at the storage facility! I’ve been fortunate to try a few Jonata wines over the last few months and I am a believer. They have all been absolutely killer. This Syrah is so young. It was only open 30mins and it needed another few hours. Meaty...beef jerky mainly. Small bit of iron, but not as much as WA state Syrahs. Mid palate was large and in charge, with a fruit forward finish. Will be awesome in 5-7yrs!

Give this another 2-3yrs and I think this is a 9.4-9.5 wine. Aromatics alone are worth the price of entry. Smoked brisket, teriyaki Jerky, black peppercorn, and rhubarb pie. A balance between savory and funky Syrah style with a dash of spicy red fruit to add complexity. Iron, bacon fat and herbaceous notes accompany ripe black cherries and fig. Great stuff.

Jonata 2014 la Sangre de Jonata syrah. At 150 a bottle, it is damn good. I am loving this juicy red Syrah with my fluffy brownie. The chocolate really accents the flavors. I really can’t give a full honest review with all the chocolate in my mouth. But I did have a few sips before the brownie. It had a lovely floral bouquet of lavender. There were great notes of cherry, blackberry, and spice.  and then give me a burst of chocolate and graphite. Not bitter at all but more earthy. This is a robust Syrah!!!! There is a very dry finish. I love this wine. Well worth 150 bucks.
