8/12/2022 - Cubsdc2 wrote: 96 pointsMassive wine, absolutely delicious and I feel like it’s ready to drink. Tannins were evident but well integrated. It was a bit hit from the alcohol but the fruit was beautiful and the finish was long. Great wine, would absolutely buy again. |

2019 Château Pégau Côtes du Rhône Villages Cuvée SetierRed Rhone Blend more |
8/9/2022 - Cubsdc2 Likes this wine: 88 pointsComplex wine, tons of garrigue. It was a little tight, and didn’t open up all that much. I think the fruit was muted as a result, but overall I enjoyed drinking it. |

2020 Kemmeter Wines Riesling SanSan Finesse Kemmeter Estate VineyardFinger Lakes more |
7/28/2022 - Cubsdc2 Likes this wine: 92 pointsOne of the best rieslings of my life, certainly best of the FLX. Had it at the winery and again at home. First taste is “wow” with loads of ripe fruit and decent amount of sweetness, but with a lot of acidity that makes your mouth water. I think this would keep easily for a decade. It’s only going to get better with time |

7/22/2022 - Cubsdc2 Likes this wine: 92 pointsCommitted infanticide with this bottle. I’d give it another 10 years, but I still loved it. Really spicy with nice blackberry jam fruit and a long finish. It’s still pretty closed because it’s young but you can tell it’s going to be really special. |

6/25/2022 - Cubsdc2 Likes this wine: 92 pointsShould’ve bought much more of this. Absolutely drinkable. Really fruit forward but enough complexity to balance it out. Not as much apple as others say, couldn’t really pinpoint exactly what it was but it was just delicious. |

6/24/2022 - Cubsdc2 Likes this wine: 85 pointsVery complex wine, but the fruit had started to fade. One of my favorite red wines from the FLX. |

6/15/2022 - Cubsdc2 Likes this wine: 90 pointsMy type of Gewurtz. Not too cloying, with a nice acidic backbone and great fruit to make it a perfect late spring sipper |

5/16/2022 - Cubsdc2 Likes this wine: 87 pointsSolid wine, especially for the price. Nothing special about it. Plenty of apple, melon with tangerine. I think I hoped for more but I’m not upset about it. |

5/9/2022 - Cubsdc2 Likes this wine: 90 pointsBeautiful nose. The oak is evident and the tertiary flavors are evident. Firm tannins gave this wine plenty of structure. I wanted a bit more fruit and felt it was starting to fade but overall a delicious wine |

2018 Domaine Saint-Damien Gigondas Vieilles VignesRed Rhone Blend more |
1/31/2022 - Cubsdc2 Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis was a big wine. Took a bit to open up, but when it did it was a classic gigondas with an amazing herbal nose and a classic Grenache taste. I don’t think this was my personal taste just because of how massive it was, but I can appreciate that this was high quality! |

2014 Château Haut-BergeyPessac-Léognan Red Bordeaux Blend more |
1/31/2022 - Cubsdc2 Likes this wine: 91 pointsDefinitely still young, but really evolved well with a decant over a couple of hours. Classic Cabernet nose and taste with the merlot to smooth out the rougher tannins. Really delicious wine, glad I have more to sit on. |

2018 Schild Estate ShirazBarossa Valley more |
7/19/2021 - Cubsdc2 Likes this wine: 88 pointsThis was a tasty wine. Big bodied and I got a lot of oak at first but that really gave way to some good fruit. Overall just not my style but a good value and I wouldn’t turn it down if offered! |

7/13/2021 - Cubsdc2 wrote: 90 pointsLiked this a lot, especially for the $14 I paid for it. Far better than most Cali cabs at that price. Bold grippy tannins, it really needs time to open. I didn’t like it at first but after about an hour it evolved in the glass. Would absolutely buy again at this price, and even a little more. |

7/10/2021 - Cubsdc2 Likes this wine: 92 pointsReally liked this wine. Was elegant with a fruity backbone. Lovely texture really elevated it. Felt like I was drinking a bottle at least twice the price. Easy buy again. |

7/7/2021 - Cubsdc2 Likes this wine: 90 pointsSecond bottle, and I’ve liked both. Sour cherry dominates but has a lot of good baking notes from the oak to help round it out. It packs a punch, and I’ll buy again. |
