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. — 6 years ago

Beautiful wine, one of my favorite Syrah from California. It starts off with aromas of milk chocolate and blueberries and opens up in to more dark fruit, leather and light smokiness. On the palette dark fruit - blueberries and blackberries, notes of vanilla with balanced tannins. I need more of this! — 9 years ago

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. — 9 years ago

Tasted blind, theme was either Napa Cult Wines or High End Australian, not told directly to keep us on our toes.

Deep to medium garnet red with brick edges. Dark attack on the nose with leather, bark, spices, a touch burnt and dates. As it aired out it gained some additional complexities with forest floor and more pepper. Solid acidity and well balanced with medium tannins (6/10). Quite a bit of red cherries on the palate with some earthy notes and a touch of cinnamon. A touch tart in the rear of the palate with some light tomato notes, mushrooms and gravel. Medium bodied with a long finish. Drink till 2019.

We thought this was most likely a Cabernet Sauvignon or Cabernet Sauvignon led blend with some Shiraz from Australia. Additionally it has to be between 15 and 20 years old (so between a 2002 and 1997). Not bad for the first wine. — 8 years ago

グラント・バージは1855年からワインを造り続ける老舗ワイナリー。ジービーシリーズは世界有数のワイン産地バロッサ・ヴァレーのブドウとオーストラリア南端にある畑のブドウを使用しており、オーストラリアのワインを分かりやすく表現しています。プラムやカシスなど熟した黒系果実のアロマが魅力のフレッシュでバランスのとれた味わいです。 — 9 years ago

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. — 9 years ago

I had never heard of this wine until my bud Ron @Ron R decided to school me in wine!! As some of you know, I love sharing wines that I feel passionate about with my friends and family. I met a partner in crime with Ron!! My new Bud decided to send me one of these beauties. I truly had no idea what I was in for one I received it. Ron simply advised "decant for two hours". I was thinking to myself that it would be this big,bold, jammy, brooding Australian Shiraz. Unfortunately, my tasting notes will definitely not be as eloquent as Ron's but I will try to do this wine justice as it is truly that good.
FSU fans (my daughter school) would love it's deep Garnett color!! The nose reveals dark fruit and a touch of leather and I get slight pencil shavings as well (I think! Lol). I'm still expecting a big power house at this point but upon 1st sip I'm blessed with flavors of spicy cherries., light vanilla with perfectly intergraded oak and tannins. I found it to be light and playful in comparison to the only Australian Shiraz that I've had recently which is Mollydooker's. velvet glove. In a nut shell., this is "The Bomb". I absolutely love it!!! & would easily recommend it to my friends.Thanks Bud! @Mike Rowe @David A Lentine @Paul T @David Goldfinger @Howard Greenfield — 9 years ago
