Reminding me of a top Hermitage, the 2012 La Sangre de Jonata checks in as a blend of 97% Syrah and 3% Viognier that's aged primarily in neutral and larger oak barrels. It's flat-out gorgeous in 2012 and gives up tons of black raspberry, crushed violets, cracked pepper and hints of game. Full-bodied, seamless, silky and fabulously pure, it has good acidity and fine tannin that come through on the finish. Give it a few years and enjoy bottles through 2032. - Jeb Dunnuck

Really sexy stuff here. The wine is rich, full bodied, concentrated and lushly textured, with a fresh, sweet, ripe, peppery, black cherry and black raspberry presence. If this is this tasty at this young age, it is only going to get better with a few years of bottle aging. This Northern Rhone styled wine was made from a blend of 97% Syrah and 3% Viognier.
