2021 | Jonata 'El Alma de Jonata' | Ballard Canyon Bordeaux Blend dried herb and mintOne of my favorite cuves from this estate, the 2021 El Alma De Jonata checks in as 80% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon.

With medium to full body, gorgeously polished, integrated tannins, and an incredible finish, it already offers pleasure yet will ideally be hidden in the cellar
