Fantastic value. Syrah based with dark chocolate, spices and licorice.
Tasted September 2013.
This wine is named after the winemakers great grandfathers initials, JT. It smells like bacon and espresso and pours thick in your glass like maple syrup. If I had 4 minutes to save the world, I would have Madonna over for a bottle of this and a stack of blueberry pancakes. If wine for breakfast isn’t your thing, grab some takeout burgers for you and your material girl.

This wine is just fantastic and for the money, a superb value! I got tapenade and black olive with blackberry aromas. It's a bit hot on the finish. Great flavour, weight and mouthfeel. It's a nice wine.
Nice nose, great chocolatey tobacco flavours, kind of a weak finish? Maybe we decanted too long?
