Château d'Orignac

Pineau des Charentes

Perfumed, complex and beguiling. Golden syrup, toffee and nuts, citrus, raisins, Christmas candy—what a symphony! A glass of this delight was how I ended my recent nose-to-tail dinner at St. John Restaurant in Smithfield, London. — a month ago

Advice From John Merlot 2021

A fierce Merlot marketing ploy. The label reads “you had me at Hell No”, I say hell of a good try. Keep them coming. Juice is good. — 4 months ago

John Duval Wines

Entity Barossa Valley Shiraz 2017

A perfect balance between oak and fruit (blackberry) from this Barossa Shiraz. Great winemaking from John Duval who has quite the CV. John was Chief Winemaker at Penfolds from 1986 until 2002 being only the 3rd custodian of Penfolds Grange after Max Schubert (creator of Grange) and Don Ditter. In 2020 this wine received Shiraz of the Year and 99 points from the James Halliday Wine Companion. The product of old vines in the Barossa. Luscious but in balance and overall - delicious. — 7 months ago

John is a very nice guy and an excellent Winemaker. Tasted with him at Taste of Barossa in 2018.

John Duval Wines

Plexus Barossa Valley Shiraz Blend 2015

Medium to full crimson in colour. I love GSM - or as this wine is SGM with Shiraz predominant. Spicy Tarry red berry aromas. All the varieties blend well here but overall it is very Barossa. John Duval, the winemaker, was once Penfolds Chief Winemaker from 1986 to 2002. There have only been 4 Penfolds Grange winemakers - Max Schubert (creator in 1951), Don Ditter, John Duval and now Peter Gago the current Chief Winemaker since 2002. A wine that goes well with food or has the substance to do equally well on its own. — 5 years ago

I tasted the Entity bottling, and it was very good as well. Would love to try this GSM blend.

Have not had a lot of experience with Duval wines under his own label but he would have excellent connections with the growers from his days with Penfolds.
