Jonata, Santa Ynez Valley, Ballard Canyon, El Alma de Jonata 2011 (1.5L) Large Format Good medium-deep red-ruby78% Cabernet Franc, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Petite Verdot, 3% Merlot 96 points Wine Advocate While there was no El Alma produced in 2010 due to late rains, the 2011 El Alma de Jonata is beautiful. Most similar to the 2008, with pure, pretty notes of wild herbs, dark chocolate, tobacco, crushed flowers and currants, it flows onto the palate with beautiful freshness and purity, big richness and a great finish.
