About wine:
The 2022 Red Blend Howard John is a Grenache-based blend. The bouquet is fragrant, more floral, with pressed rose petals infused with redcurrant and raspberry. The medium-bodied palate has supple, low-powered tannins, a more elegant and natural style with a harmonious finish that glides easily down the throat. 2024-2035
