Typical nose of an Art Series Chardonnay with that dried pear character. On the medium weight palate a nice combination of ripe grapefruit and under ripe yellow peach. Medium minus acid. One can’t help but love this Chardonnay. A wonderful terroir, the Gin Gin clone, great winemaking, and an excellent vintage - ticks all the boxes. At its peak but enough acid for a few more years if you wish. That was my last bottle of the 2011. — 4 months ago

Deep purple in color; black cherries, plums, and cigar box on the nose; medium plus acidity; high tannins; tastes like plum sauce, blueberries, and wet slate with a long finish. Nellie didn't like it, but I did. — a month ago

Pale straw . Lemon and lime with some petrol hints ,green herbs , white flower notes as well . Light bodied with high acidity , green apple , lime and grapefruit . Very fresh , high acidity , leaves the palate very fresh , lively . Touch of fresh green herbs on the ok length finish . Would prefer to leave this 2 or 3 years , just to fill out a little more in the bottle and will last well a further 10 or so . — 7 months ago

My first impressions of the 2020 Pégau “Cuvée Reservée”. I brought this bottle to Tasting Group and presented it double-blind to the crew, for science! The wine pours a deep ruby with a translucent core. Moderate staining of the tears; high viscosity. On the nose: the wine is moderate intensity; developing. Ripe cherry and bramble fruits with some strawberry, anise, exotic spices, garrigue, and lavender. On the palate, the wine is dry, medium+ tannin and medium+ acid and medium+ alcohol. The tannins are super grippy. The finish is long, herby and there is a streak of black pepper. Whoa…this is a gorgeously expressive wine! Some felt it was 1er cru Burg. Other thought something form Italy: Brunello or CCR. Only one, the only Advanced Somm in the group, called CdP, but he called 2016. Having had many 2016’s recently, I can see where he was coming from. But make no mistake, this will age well despite it’s current approachability. Drink now to enjoy its youth before it potentially (likely) shuts down. Otherwise, this will drink well for 10-15+ years. — 2 years ago

Jarvis will always have a special place in my heart and in the wine scene. To believe this was first made my Will Javis in 8th grade as a science project is iconic. You can taste the difference in using fresh oak barrels. This Cabernet franc would pair really well with lamb chops or a ribeye, Camembert cheese, or even some fire roasted veggies. — 3 months ago

Really enjoyable wine. Had the 2020 in July of 2024 with Greek lemon chicken, tzatziki and a salad. Hints of lemon with some creamy vanilla overtones. Super interesting. Would drink again. — 6 months ago
