Why do we love it?
El Desafio de Jonata 2005 is an unforgettable wine according to its creator, Matt Dees and this justifies in part the 94 pts by Robert Parker. But if you want to know why it is really unforgettable read below!

The Jonata winery is located in the Santa Ynez Valley and is the "brother" of the legendary Screaming Eagle. Yes, the famous Screaming Eagle, we're not kidding. Its vineyards cover 33 hectares which are cultivated with sustainable cultivation, without chemicals and pesticides. In these areas, they grow fruits and vegetables and have their own animal farm. The viticulturist Ruben Solorzano monitors and visits the vineyard twice a day to ensure the most perfect fruit quality. Then the oenologist Matt Dees takes over who divides the vineyard into 150 different plots which he vinifies separately, maintaining their unique characteristics.

El Desafio de Jonata 2015 consists of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. A purebred Cabernet! The wine ages for 20 months in oak barrels, 80% new.

Its creator succeeds to encapsulates in the bottle both the dense fruit and the freshness as well as the compact structure.

PAIR IT

Pair it with grilled meat, game or cheese. 

Roast beef with spices and red wine sauce

  • 2 tbsps. of peppercorns
  • 2 tbsps. of black or white mustard seeds
  • 2 tbsps. of fennel seeds
  • 1.5 kilos of beef fillet
  • 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tbsp of wholegrain or English (preferably gluten-free) mustard
  • 3 coarsely chopped red onions along with the peels
  • A pinch of thyme

For the sauce:

 

  • 2 tbsps extra virgin olive oil
  • 1.5 with 2 tsps of corn flour
  • 2 beef stock cubes
  • 3-4 tbsp red currant jelly
  • 400ml red wine

Two days ago, grind the pepper and the mustard and fennel seeds using a mortar. Brush the fillet with mustard and then roll it to freshly ground pepper. Cover with cling film and place it in the fridge.

Two hours before you start cooking, take the meat out of the refrigerator to reach room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 180C. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and cook the meat until it gets a beautiful brown color. Use onions in the casserole as the base and place the meat on top of them. Bake for 20 minutes for medium or 35 minutes for a well-done beef.

Remove the beef from the casserole and place it on a platter covered with foil for 30 minutes to keep it warm. Put the casserole on the heat and along with the onions and meat juices, add the corn flour and the beef stock cubes. Stir the jelly and gradually pour the wine while stirring. Simmer until the liquid is reduced. Strain the sauce and remove the onions. Slice the beef, flavor it with thyme and serve with the red wine sauce.
