The Johan Vineyards Estate resides on 175 acres of gently sloping hills in the Mid-Willamette Valley. The grapes were hand harvested and fermented using 30% whole clusters and all native yeasts for primary and malolactic. Aged for 19 months in used French oak barrels. Tannins are noted immediately, and a taste of new leather adds further astringency and shortens the fruit. Such wines are well-suited for grilled and broiled meats that are not too lean. Tart berries and mixed herbs add complexity throughout.
