  October 15, 2021 - WTF? Why is this wine not getting the praise that I am feeling here today for a NV wine for 17.00!!!!!! Did you want a steak with that?
  
  Holy heaven of meat juice and cow dong, in an incredible, DRY style Cdp with just enough linger to make me go ahhhhh! The dryness of this wine is such a turn on, and such a beautiful touch to all the earthiness and classiness that Pegau delivers and delivers and delivers. Clearly not meant for holding, this wine is good to go. I would say that this has Reserve demeanor and fruit depth laced into its earthiness from a year like 2010 (yes 2010!) and it has the Cuvee du Capo tannin package, as this wine is incredibly dry and beautifully tannic. The tannic package is part of the sexiness of the wine, and should be embraced for the wine to be enjoyed. What a beautiful show. DRINK!!!!
  
  * You can't drink this good for 17.00 AnYwherE!

  August 14, 2021 - Shriveled berries, a dusty quality like a stack of newspapers, pine, fur tree, dried herbs, pencil shavings — it’s an interesting nose that won’t be for everybody, but it definitely feels unique. The palate is soft and pliant with a distinctly new world friendly vibe, but not over the top or cooked. The blend of vintages shows through with a combo of slightly brighter red fruit and fruit that feels like it’s showing more age. Medium+ body, there is a touch of stickiness on the palate, I wouldn’t call it cloying, but it’s in that direction.

  July 11, 2021 - Medium bodied, modern style with traditional sensibilities. Fresh conifer, syrupy red fruit, and volcanics on the nose. Astonishing Rhone nose, almost Cote Rote-like. Followed by prune/raisins, sticky stewed red fruit, more lovely pine/conifer, reduction in the form of barnyard, leather, mocha, and coppery metalics on the palate. Good length.
  
  The raisining and syrup-iness really puts me off alongside the evident alcohol, but objectively for USD $16 this is decent. Fortunate enough to have tasted decades of Pegau Reservee and calling this an "introduction to Pegau" is not accurate. The Reservee is far more than 3-4x better at only 3-4x the cost.
  
  It's tricky distributing a wine like this, in the US it belongs at a grocery store next to Bogle and Meiomi but likely will only see distribution through fine wine merchants.

  May 10, 2021 - (at Petit Louis - Baltimore) Delicious, with good fruit and structure. Fun, bistro styled wine with good purity. Goes down easy. (88)
