Jonata Fenix 2021

ANTONIO GALLONI 97 POINTS - "The 2021s are some of the very best wines I have ever tasted from Jonata. The quality of the year is most evident in the Fenix, Alma and Desafio trio, each of which is distinguished by a very high percentage of a single principal variety driving their respective blends. Readers will find wines that offer the combination of vibrancy, fruit purity and structure that are the calling cards of this superb Santa Barbara vintage."

"The 2021 Fenix is a rich, heady wine. Dark blue/purplish fruit, lavender, cloves, menthol and mocha all meld together in a potent, seamless Merlot-based red that delivers the goods. The flavors are really popping today. Bright acids and substantial depth suggest cellaring is essential, and yet the 2021 is so compelling today. What a wine."
