The 100% Sangiovese 2016 La Tierra de Jonata has a medium to deep ruby-purple color and dense nose of baked sour cherry, blackberry and black cherry with garrigue, iron, charcuterie, soy, leather and blue fruit hints—a very ripe expression. Full-bodied, it's bold in the mouth with tons of savory accents coming through, supported by firm, chewy tannins and great freshness and finishing long. This is an interesting New World expression of Sangiovese. 71 cases will be released this fall.

Pale to medium ruby-purple colored, the 2015 La Tierra de Jonata (made from 100% Sangiovese) displays lifted red cherries, red currants and plums on the nose with touches of sautéed herbs, fragrant earth and black tea leaves plus a waft of lavender. Light to medium-bodied, this is a fine, fresh, cleverly made wine, possessing elegant styling, finishing soft and refreshing.
