Very light rose color, almost a gray tint. Lemon, peach, floral nose. Light to medium bodied with low to medium acidity. Peach, strawberry, flowers and minerals. Great balance.
Sweet red berry and floral nose. Light bodied with low to medium acidity. Fruit punch, raspberry, pomegranate and flowers on the palate. Pretty, fruity, simple and tasty. I guessed gamay. 89+
Mint chocolate chip ice cream on the nose. "Last Chance" nailed it in his/her note below. Light to medium bodied with medium acidity. Dark raspberry fruit, milk chocolate and mint. Interesting but strange. (my 7th, group's 4th)

Raspberry jam, spices and black pepper on the nose. Light to medium bodied with low acidity. Round cherry fruit and clove. Smooth and balanced with a long finish. (my 6th, group's 8th)
Reticent nose, bit minty. Medium bodied with low to medium acidity. Mix of tart and sweet raspberry fruit with depth. Bit of leather and beef stock. Complex and tasty. (my 3rd, group's 3rd)

Pretty, lifted nose of sweet raspberry and clove. Light to medium bodied with medium acidity. Mix of tart and sweet raspberry fruit. Young, tart and tasty. Outlier in the flight, wasn't surprised it was the youngest. (my 4th, group's 1st)

Pretty, floral, sweet cherry nose. Light to medium bodied with low to medium acidity. Juicy, fresh cranberry and pomegranate. Well-integrated and almost Pinot-like. (my 2nd, group's 5th)
Dark fruit, forest floor, a touch musty. The mustiness didn't fade over a couple of hours so I think it could have been ever-so-slightly corked. Medium to full bodied with medium acidity. Blackberry, leather and potting soil. Medium, drying tannins. Many years of life left. (my 5th, group's 2nd)
Funky, savory nose of smoked meat and soy. Earthy palate. Can't identify a specific flaw but this wasn't pleasurable in the least. (my 8th, group's 7th)
Sweet and smoky nose, blackberries and cassis. Medium bodied with medium acidity. Dark raspberry and blackberry. The fruit tastes pretty fresh and is accompanied by nice acidity and light to medium tannins. Lovely. (my 1st, group's 6th)
