This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Merlot grapes, sourced from the winery's estate vineyards in the Ballard Canyon AVA. The wine is named "El Desafio," which means "The Challenge" in Spanish, in reference to the winery's commitment to crafting high-quality, complex wines that reflect the unique terroir of the region. The grapes are carefully selected and harvested by hand, and the wine is aged in French oak barrels for 22 months before bottling.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, and Merlot offers a complex bouquet of ripe blackberry, fresh tobacco, and dried herbs.On the palate, the flavors are concentrated, with an earthy mid-palate and a long finish that is supported by well-integrated tannins. The El Desafio de Jonata 2016 is an impressive and well-structured wine that will age gracefully for many years to come.

ORIGINS

Winery: Jonata

Region: Central Coast California

The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States. The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.
