Beautifully pure and fresh, the 2008 La Flor de Jonata offers up notions of candied lemon peel, mineral and tinges of apricot as well as a laser- focused, beautifully pure feel in the mouth. As with the 2007, it is delicious now, yet will continue to have an interesting evolution. 93 pts
This was an incredible tasting with winemaker Matt Dees. This estate continues to produce some of the most impressive, long-lived wines in Santa Barbara. As I’ve learned from past tasting, it’s always best to schedule this appointment at the end of the day as these effort have no shortage of tannin and can wreak havoc on one’s palate. While I’ve routinely tasted the La Sangre de Jonata for a number of years now, it was great to be able to go back through past vintages of this estate’s other wines. In addition to these efforts bottled under the Jonata label, I was also able to taste their The Hilt and The Pairing releases, both of which are also reviewed in this report (and highly recommended).
