Tasting Notes
The 2019 Todos is a blend of 48% Syrah, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petite Sirah, 9% Merlot, with the remaining 5% a mix of other varieties in the vineyard. The rich and powerful nose offers liquorice and sweet blackberries, with blueberry pie and baking spice. Medium to full-bodied, the well-integrated tannins are elegant and concentrated, with fresh, pepper spice and dark red berries that flesh out the mid-palate, building towards a long, harmonious, red-fruited finish. It is really appealing and enjoyable now, but will also reward a couple of years in the cellar. Great value for money.

The 2019 Todos is a fleshy, supple, easygoing wine that will drink well pretty much right out of the gate and also for a number of years. Jonata's entry-level Todos remains the hidden jewel in this range, as it offers tons of character at a very accessible price. Dark cherry, cedar, tobacco and a whole range of spice notes linger in this gorgeous, Syrah-based blend. I would open the 2019 well in advance or give it a year or two in bottle, as there is plenty of youthful tannin that needs to soften a bit.
The daring blend 'Todos' (meaning 'All') includes every variety grown on the estate. Still the wine manages to carry the distinctive character of the Syrah and Cabernet that cornerstone the wine. Brambly black and blueberry notes are wrapped with smoke and spice and earth, and with whiffs of violet and liquorice. The palate is coherent and focused, its lush, bright fruit—blackberry and plum—layered with exotic spices, crushed rock, and a hint of savoury salinity, all backed by the firm structure of the Cab.
The 2019 Todos checks in as its usual kitchen sink blend of 48% Syrah, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petite Sirah, 9% Merlot, 2% Sangiovese, and the rest assorted other varieties. This wine has been a perennial winner for over a decade now, and the 2019 reveals a dense purple hue as well as pure red and blue fruits followed by ample pepper, pen ink, graphite, and herbal nuances. I love its balance, it's medium to full-bodied, has a pure, elegant texture, and outstanding length.
