"A mid-ruby color, segueing to aromas of satsuma plum, kirsch, pomegranate, ume, sassafras and damson. Some-orange rind edges, as well as more resinous notes of briar and smoked meats. Mid-weighted of feel and finely tuned. A taut wine, reliant on a mandala of chalky, fine boned tannins for tension, savoriness and immense pleasure. Delicious grenache-dominant wine of a contemporary sheen. Drink or hold."

"The 2021 Johann's Garden comprises 92% Grenache and 8% Mataro. The nose leads with that sweet roast meat spice, cranberries, black cherry, layers of coulis and exotic spice. In the mouth, the wine is shaped by ductile, clothy, firm tannins (fine, though) and concentrated fruit. This is a really lovely wine: fierce and flowing, lively and restrained."
