Grapes: 48% Syrah, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petite Sirah, 9% Merlot, 2% Sangiovese, 5% Misc. others (white and red).

Dedicated to expressing a range of red—and a handful of white—wines from its estate in the Central Coast of California’s Ballard Canyon appellation within Santa Ynez Valley, Jonata is one of a new breed of producers throughout the world who are thriving with a non-traditional amalgam of varieties and blends. 

The 2019 Todos (everyone) is dark and brooding with sweet blackberries, blueberries, cinnamon and baking spice. On the palate there's a bundle of fruit wrapped in a formidable package of complex structure. Will reward those who decant and those who give it a few years in the cellar.
