2020 La Frenz Cabernets Rockyfeller Vineyard
5/10/2024 - Canoehead Does not like this wine: 86 Points
I echo Mr Schmidt here. This blend is not blended. It’s angular with sour fruit and disarming acidity. Sampled over two evenings with no marked improvement in fact it lurched into tannic territory. Therefore tonight it’s bound for the braising pot for short ribs. Probably one of the first La Frenz products we haven’t been smitten with. Alas, back to the Grand Totals!

2016 Domaine du Pégau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Réservée

PnPd a 500ml bottle; recent purchase from Grand Vin. Excellent condition. Bright but also savoury. Great depth of fruit but not heavy or cloying. Right in its drinking window. Paired with roast racks of lamb and peas with pancetta & sage. Great combo.

Very good QPR. Impressive depth and breadth for only mid-$20s (on sale). VG weeknight red.
