Ruddy red, deeply translucent, with beautiful, quick tears. Nose is earthy with some spice and penetrates to the top of the nose. Very balanced mouth with light, light tannins. Lovely.

Yeah, it's pinot-syrah and heavy duty juice. I can't understand why John is trying to make pinot when his forte is brawny, extracted wines that age sur lie for years and years. I much prefer his other reds, except the Enfant du Pape. I don't like that one either.

On the nose dried cherries, fresh earth and some sharpness. Tastes of blackberries and black fruit with the right amount of acidity to be an excellent food wine. Long and full finish leaves you waiting for the next sip. I like this wine.

Needed some time to let the wine smooth out. After about an hour it’s balanced. Good but definitely near the end of the drinking window.
