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?
