"Chateau La Grange" - La Grange IL

The idea was to compare the regular cuvee of certain wines from around the wine with various interpretations of their "reserve," whether it be a vineyard designate, old vine cellar, or barrel selection. The ten glasses of red were in random order, but I am sequencing my notes by pair. The final two red wines had flawed pairs, so were on their own.
