Jonata Cabernet Sauvignon El Desafio de Jonata Ballard Canyon Santa Ynez Valley 2018  - First Bottle

Reviews

97 Vinous -
Cabernet Sauvignon drives the 2018 El Desafio de Jonata. Light on its feet for such a big wine, the Desafio dazzles from the very first taste. Pencil shavings, licorice, lavender, spice, menthol and grilled herbs build in a stunning, deeply pitched Ballard Canyon red that hits all the right notes. The 2018 is simply magnificent. Don't miss it.
