The 2009 Johann’s Garden is composed of 71% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre and 9% Shiraz. Medium to deep garnet colored, it offers an earthy / meaty nose over aromas of black raspberries, blackberries and yeast extract with hints of black pepper and Indian spices. Ripe, rich, very full and voluptuous in the mouth, it is nicely poised with medium to firm velvety tannins and crisp acid, finishing long and spicy. Drink it now to 2018+. During my visit to Henschke, I was treated to a mini vertical of the Green’s Hill Lenswood Riesling. A single vineyard wine, production is tiny though it can occasionally be seen in export markets and is well worth the hunt. Note that no 2007 Hill of Grace is reviewed here. Due to the tiny production of this vintage (only 8 hogsheads, owing to frost and drought), the release has been delayed and it wasn’t available yet for tasting.Importer: Negociants USA, Napa, CA; tel.
