Tasting Notes:
Grange is THE Shiraz, beloved by many and coveted the world over for it consistency. The lineage of the wine can be traced from the experimental 1951, and has continued unbroken to today.
The FatGuys have had the good fortune to be able to sample more than a 1/2 dozen vintages over the last several years. Each one like a child; born of a process, unique in its own characteristics, one loved no less than any other.
