Tasting Note:February 7, 2018

Almost pitch black core, super dark garnet red. Lovely nose, minerality, dark berries and savory. Great tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus to full bodied. Lush and dry palate with some earthiness and dried berries. Definitely not backing down. Long and lingering finish.

This is the inaugural bottling of the La Fuerza de Jonata (which means Strength) is made up of 100% Petit Verdot and aged in 75% new French oak barrels. Only 100 cases produced.
