99 Points from Jeb Dunnuck saying:
“Reminding me of a great Côte Rôtie... its deep ruby/plum hue is followed by a masculine, powerful bouquet of ripe black and blue fruits, scorched earth, graphite, and peppered meat. It's rich and full-bodied, with building yet incredibly polished tannins and a great finish. Easily up with the finest ever made, this tour de force in Syrah needs to be tasted to be believed.”

98 Points from Vinous saying:
“The 2021 La Sangre de Jonata is dazzling. Bright, powerful and explosive, the 2021 possesses tremendous intensity from start to finish. Red purplish fruit, rose petal, lavender, mocha, espresso and leather all saturate the palate. The 2021 finishes with tremendous power and substance. Magnificent!"

97 Points from James Suckling saying:
“A huge, tight and concentrated wine with oodles of black fruit, graphite, wood char and dried blueberry flavors.”
