Description

"A luxurious and suave Alma showing off the plush fruit and stunning complexity that cabernet franc is capable of. Aromas of black cherry, new leather, mint and cocoa nibs. Savory charm and the classic herbal edge of rosemary, violets and lavender. Black minerals. A seamless young Alma. Supple, suave and perfumed. Regal and elegant. Light dusting of cocoa powder tannins alongside resinous dark fruit and dark green herbs. Ultimately a wine of balance, polish and satin texture. Dense, but also very light on its feet and tremendously long. In the sweet spot today and for years to come. An absolutely unforgettable reminder that when mother nature fully cooperates, cabernet franc is capable of miracles." Matt Dees, Winemaker

80% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon

Review
One of my favorite cuvées from this estate, the 2021 El Alma De Jonata checks in as 80% Cabernet Franc, 15% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Reminding me of a great vintage of Château Figeac, it has a gorgeous perfume of red and black fruits, spring flowers, lead pencil, and smoked tobacco. 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 for 4-5 years. It will have 20-25+ years of overall longevity.
