James Suckling (97)

Intense smoke and dried meat with purple fruit. Smoke and sweet tea, too. This is full-bodied, yet it shows freshness and a layered mouth-feel of fine tannins, fruit and acidity. Extremely complex. Cote-Rotie here.

The 2018 La Sangre de Jonata is another wine in this range that is all finesse. Time in the glass releases a range of dark red cherry, plum fruit, along with wild flowers, herbs, licorice, mint and blood orange. All of the strands are woven together in an absolutely impeccable, flat out delicious Syrah that dazzles from start to finish. This 2018 is a drop-dead gorgeous Sangre.

Lastly, the 2018 La Sangre de Jonata is 97% Syrah and 3% Viognier brought up in 15% new French oak (8% whole clusters). The 2018 will be a gorgeous vintage for this cuvée, offering lots of bloody blue and black fruits, ground pepper, and smoked meat notes as well as a full-bodied, precise, yet still opulent style on the palate. It's going to need 3-4 years of bottle age, but it will be a gorgeous wine.
