2020 Jonata ‘Todos’ Red Blend Santa Ynez Valley

JD93-95 Another wine that’s just about to be bottled is the 2020 Todos, which is a final blend of 57% Syrah, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petite Sirah, 6% Cabernet Franc, and the rest a mix of varieties. Ripe blueberries, fresh plums, chocolate, and peppery notes all define the nose, and it’s full-bodied, with a plush, rounded texture, beautiful tannins, and a great finish. It should be a no-brainer purchase.
Estate Notes: Boysenberry and chocolate nibs. A medium rare steak. Wonderful interplay between sweet and savory. Big fruit and bold personality. Blueberry, clove and bacon. Well-built Todos blend thanks to ample sunshine during the growing season and harvest. It is not a shy Todos, but the best secret of this wine is that it stays in balance thanks to the length of the structure and the Ballard Canyon acidity. The tannins are so fine and mouth coating, like a fine powder. Along the journey, this Todos crosses from black to red and then from blue to green. A fascinating cascade of flavors, aromas and most importantly, textures. A true and inviting conversation between syrah, cabernet sauvignon and a few friends. – Winemaker, Matt Dees
