2013 Granite Heights Vineyard Lomax Reserve
8/18/2018 - Chris Reppert Likes this wine: 92 Points
Nose: dried cherry, plum, smoke, spice, oak
Palate: palate had all the typical Bordeaux characteristics, but you can taste the hot Virginia summer with the added fruitiness. Quite a pleasant pour. All finesse here, no power, which I prefer. Reminiscent of 2008/2009 Lomax, cannot recall which.

2014 Château Lynch-Bages
8/4/2017 - Chris Reppert Likes this wine: 91 Points
Nose perfumed, dark fruit, some underlying cedar notes. Acidity consumes palate but fruit conveys smoothly over tongue with long, dry finish you can feel on inside of cheeks, chalky, lead pencil. Definitely not ready yet, but could not wait upon arrival as this was first classified Bordeaux for me. In my opinion, overrated. But I will continue to try others before my mind is completely made-up.
