2019 Johann's Garden GMS

An 80-20 blend of Grenache and Mataro, the 2019 Johann's Garden is noticeably lighter in hue than the other reds in this year's Henschke lineup. That's not a bad thing, as the wine still boasts ample concentration and distinct Grenache-ness. Hints of resinous herbs, like rosemary and bay, appear on the nose, alongside hints of strawberries and red raspberries, while the medium to full-bodied palate is framed by soft tannins and built around a core of bright acids that linger mouthwateringly on the finish.
