Aonair Wines

Duarte Vineyard Grenache Blend 2016

With friends in town during Thanksgiving, I hit up some wineries that I’ve been curious about. Super cool experience at Aonair. Grant Long, Jr has created something special there, and with David Yorgensen at the helm with the wines, it feels all dialed in. Their Grenache was a surprise to me. From El Dorado and there’s some initial funk, but it blows off and what’s left is a balanced, mineral driven, but kirsch laden, and yet still, a bright style wine that’s quite reminiscent of something from Chateauneuf du Pape. — 7 years ago

Damn... didn’t get to try the Cab Franc, which I’m a huge fan of the varietal, so I definitely need another visit (Probably need one just to do a tasting of David’s Kind label wines). Opened the 2016 Mountains Reserve tonight and it’s going fast... the scoreless Saints might also be the cause....

@Isaac Pirolo : They don’t pour the CF when you visit the winery...even for wine club members! They know we love it, so we are able to get a heads up before it’s released but will still only give me 3! CF is one of our favorite varietals. I’ve found that the Mountains wine drinks better young than the Cab Reserve. I’m waiting for my Cowboys to blow this game...

Markus Wine Co.

Nimmo Mokelumne Glen Vineyards Kerner Blend 2014

The pale golden straw color is appealing, while the nose certainly isn’t scaring anyone away. Clean earth notes define the apple, papaya and lime aromas beautifully. The palate shows off-dry pear, apple and Meyer lemon flavors on a bed of acidity. Finishing long, it’s the earth and citrus that stays around after the sip. The wine’s body makes it a lot more versatile that just “salads and sipping.” Winemaker Markus Niggli recommends you pair it with anything off the grill. — 10 years ago

Meshach Barossa Shiraz 1991

Still solid red, only slightly bricking towards the rim. Nose is elegant, cedar and blackcurrant with a touch of menthol. Palate is smooth, beautiful weight and still mostly primary fruit; blackcurrants and plums with a hint of spice. A lovely bottle of well aged Aussie Shiraz. Top stuff. — 10 years ago
