Jonata 'Tierra' Red Ballard Canyon, California, USA, 2009 (1.5L)

Description

The 2009 Jonata 'Tierra' is one of the flagship wines from Jonata Estate, located in the acclaimed Ballard Canyon AVA of California's Santa Ynez Valley. Crafted from meticulously farmed estate vineyards, this Bordeaux-inspired red blend reflects the estate's commitment to precision, power, and elegance.

Full-bodied and powerfully structured, this Sangiovese beautifully expresses the unique terroir of Jonata Vineyard. Aromas of vibrant raspberry, smoky plum, rosemary, and sage are layered with savory notes of prosciutto and fennel. Still youthful, the wine remains tightly wound, hinting at even greater complexity with further cellaring. The palate bursts with bright pomegranate and sweet cherry flavors, complemented by a distinctive saline minerality that reflects the vineyard's cooling ocean influence. Firm yet polished tannins provide remarkable structure and balance, making this an impressive, age-worthy Sangiovese. Rich, expressive, and unmistakably tied to its sandy soils, native herbs, and coastal breezes, it offers a true sense of place in every glass.
