If you're in the wine industry, you know the story of Jason Brown. You've already stocked up on the Lock & Key and stashed away more of the reserve than your wife would allow you to, if only she knew.The wines that Mr. Brown and wife Alecia have been making for the world, are not only beautiful wines to drink but are incredibly well-priced as well. I've tasted, so far, the Shiraz, Cabernet Merlot and the Sav Blanc. There's so much I'd like to say using beautiful, colourful language, but the easiest way of putting it in writing would be describe them as 'kick-ass'. These wines, from the time they're opened, to the time they're all gone, literally, kick ass. Try them today - Lock & Key range would be the perfect start.

Before I say something, anything about it, the price is right. You can get it for around 9-11 dollars at any wine shop. Around $15-$20 in the wine bars around Sydney.
The taste is nothing special. Its not bad, for sure. It has a slight heaviness to it, you feel it more if you're not having food with it. With grilled fish, or cheese, it could be quite refreshing - the temperature, I'd suggest, should be around 7-8 C, which is slightly less than how I usually like whites.
A good choice if you're having a BBQ with friends. Bad Choice for a romantic, impress-her-all-you-can date.

vishal reviewed Gramps Shiraz Barossa Valley 2006 on June 23, 2011

Here's the writing on your screen: grab a dozen bottles of Orlando Gramps Shiraz, Vintage 2006 and put them away!
Don't say you didn't see it. The writing that is.
This is a wine that many have tasted, many have liked. Many have already put away. Join that club.
Tastes like a good wine should. Without digging deep into my literary closet for fancier words, I'd put it simply: it makes you feel good, it makes the meal taste better and the feeling of general well-being is suddenly uplifted to a new high after the first glass.
Try it before you decide to stock up.
