G Major Seven Study 575 OVX Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

2 hour decant was helpful but can't wait to try this bottle in a few years. More complexity than the Aonair we opened already which makes this a perfect wine for a big meal. Kept getting better as we finished the bottle. — 9 years ago

Duarte Georgetown Vineyard Grenache Blend

Greg Ballington
9.2

One of our favorite Grenache slash Grenache Blends out of California. Especially because of how different it is to the usual wine made with this varietal. This blend is 88% Grenache and 12% Syrah. Deep ruby red core. Some Syrah characteristics on the nose, caramel, maple smoked bacon and bark as well as some perfume and floral notes from the Grenache. High tannins (8/10) and moderate body covered with a ton of dark fruits. Attack is so smooth leveled with a punch in the finish. Tannins carry through with long and lingering finish. Absolutely delicious and will definitely continue to purchase these wines from Grant! Drink till 2030. — 10 years ago

Thanks :) I wonder if the Coravin will crank going through wax or if I'll have to commit to the bottle!

@TheSkip no problem! And good that you mentioned that, I scrapped the wax off and coravinned this bottle....had to open it the next day, cork wouldn't seal back up :(

I've only used it once and the cork would not reseal!

Napa Valley White Blend 2015

9.1

This is the only white produced by Grant at Aonair. Made entirely from Mount Veeder fruit. This blend is made up of 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 35% Sauvignon Muscat (need to double check) and 5% Semillon. Crystal clear medium yellow. Thick nose with some spices on the attack, almost caramel and golden apples. Slightly sweet aroma. Moderate plus acidity (7.5/10) with a crisp and refreshing medium body. No sharpness, very balanced and structured. Some ginger and citrus notes on the palate. Long and lingering finish with a little honeysuckle. Beautiful white blend and excellent work by Grant. Drink till 2022. — 9 years ago

Ok, the Truman's must be retarded. How did you get all the f'ing wax off the top of the bottle. After two bottle consumed, Jenn attacked the bottle with a pairing knife...and the bottle won.

Ha! This is the bottle he gave us after our tasting. I took the pic @ oenotri- no wax yet!!!

Wow. I shouldn't be surprised that a wine made by Grant Long Jr is phenomenal, just like his Aonair Wines portfolio, but holy smokes this is so delicious. Beautiful royal purple color in the glass and it smells of boysenberry, licorice and blueberries. Lovely bit of vanilla, light oak and cassis on the tongue. For $55, not many out there can top this for the price. @Greg Ballington, you and I are in agreement about this wine...so good! — 9 years ago

@TheSkip exactly what @Shay Aldriedge says just talk to Patrick and Grant and you can customize your shipments. That's what we do!
