I haven’t had this wine since the late 2000’s.

As good as I remember it.

High class pinot. Feel guilty about drinking it so young, but didn’t taste green. Lovely with swordfish on the grill — 4 years ago

This is a very nice Grenache from Santa Ynez Valley, California.

Easy drinking and fruit forward. Drinks very much like a new world Pinot Noir.

Showing red and blue fruits with spices, peppercorn, leather, earth, light vegetables, tobacco and dark coffee.

Medium bodied with medium acidity and nice legs.

Nice nose, spicy and tangy. A good quality wine and very easy drinking.

I gave it a slight chill, and had it by the pool with some cheeses.

13.6% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

After finding Australian cabs so and so, I am pivoting back to Shiraz. That’s where AUS shines, and this wine is a great example. Deep and intense flavors, structure and a long finish. Delicious. — 2 years ago

@Delectable Wine : This is the Aonair Winemaker’s Reserve bottling. I didn’t see it in the database.

When I asked Grant what the “winemakers Reserve” was, he said “the good sh*t”, so I’m not sure what the makeup is here. Having enjoyed quite a few Aonair wines over the years, this seemed more like the Cabernet Reserve as opposed to the Mountains Proprietary sporting the higher toned red/black fruit profile with a bit of tangy oak. Very unique as it seemed a cross between American and French oak. Dark chocolate frosted black cherries, currant, violets and a mixed berry pie dominate both the nose and palate. Fine grain tannins at the finish. This needed a few hours to open up as the aromatics and palate were a roller coaster. Give this a few hrs of air or hold another 2-3yrs. — 4 years ago
