Beautifully constructed and classically built up, with tar, roses and mineral accents on the intriguing nose. Still tight and youthful but accessible thanks to great fruit and integrated acidity. Drink through 2025 at least. @Johan Eriksson — 5 years ago

I like Blaufränkisch and this is my first Oregon expression of it. Tastes like a snappier darker Oregon Pinot Noir. Neat wine. Johan is a biodynamic winery a few clicks closer to the coast from Eola-Amity Hills. Good value. — 4 years ago

Light straw color. Coche Dury nose. Nose of lemon curd, wet stone, clove and freshly sliced not ripe nectarine. In the mouth a great balance of fruit and acidity. Shorter finish. Really good for the vintage. JF Coche makes this for Johan at D&S and it's a winner. — 8 years ago
A good Gruner always makes me hungry (must be the white pepper savouriness). This stands alone in and of itself without food. Full throttle style of GV coming at you from all angles on the palate with herbal notes, citrus and soft lees character. — 8 years ago
A Cape classic! Perfect blend. Balanced, fruit still strong. One of my favorite south African reds ever. Here is to Johan Malaan. — 9 years ago
Johan Reyneke as been perfecting his skills along the years, mastering top South African wines, Biodynamic farming , a very skilled man that knows how to listen to nature - Sourced from a small vineyard - bring a wine with great texture, well evolved, mineral notes with citrus fruit, and refreshing acidity 😉 — 10 years ago
So this was part of tasting this next to a cider with 50% of this same wine added to the apple cider. I like the cider better. This is coats the palate. I get lemon curd, grapefruit pith, almost a bitter green character, and a hint of tea. Very interesting. — 4 years ago

Mmm I smell the antediluvian savoir faire of Burgundy and taste the volcanic rich essence of the Willamette Valley in this old world style Pinot Noir. Tobacco, cedar, black plum and black cherry, even a slight hint of vanilla infiltrate the nose and gloss over the palate wi th the addition of black pepper and black licorice on the finish. Truly exceptional pinot noir!!! — 4 years ago
