About the wine:
The 2022 Howard John Red Blend is a Grenache-based blend. The bouquet is fragrant and more floral, with crushed rose petals infusing notes of red currant and raspberry. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with supple, mild tannins, offering a more elegant and natural style with a harmonious finish that glides easily down the throat. 2024–2035
