John Duval, Entity, Shiraz, Barossa, Australia 2021

“Aromatic and complex, with a plush, velvety quality to the blackberry, spiced plum and violet details. Reveals huckleberry, black cherry and bittersweet chocolate accents on the long, expressive finish, where details of fresh laurel bay leaf and Earl Grey tea linger. Drink now through 2034.”-94WS

“Catching up with John Duval is a lesson in modern Australian winemaking. He made Grange for Penfolds, working with Max Schubert and Don Ditter before serving as chief winemaker from 1987–2002, so he’s got historic bona fides. He seems to know all the growers in Barossa, where he’s made his own wines since 2003…”- Wine Advocate
