Aromatic with a developed floral citrus note, guessed Riesling first but then it had a something else quality to it. Very developed with a full, almost fat body. Nice acid balance, very drinkable. Very close to the end of prime time, drink now don't hold.
Not a bad wine, the nose was green bean, bell pepper, other vegetables, almost a stew. Good acid balance, slight RS, very full body. Overpowering for me but some will love it.
France, Southwest France, Gascony, Côtes de Gascogne
White fruit and melons, full bodied with a salty acid balance, great mouthfeel and linger. 11.5% alcohol. A very pleasant white with lots of personality. Not sure about the relationship to the CC Dovecote Winery.
Classic SB nose of white clover, green grass and melon. Very nice acid, body balance with total integration of the two. Great linger. One of best SB tasted in a while.
Decent complex red wine, spicy and juicy, not sure I would of called it PN on first taste more Sangiovese cues. Easy structure, drying tannins, spice in linger.

Uninspiring white wine, slight ML, slight wood, more PMC than SB. Drinkable with good balance. Not worth $17.

2013 Johann Schwarz Pinot Noir The Butcher Flawed

Rustic, old Brett and orange peel. This 2013 was obviously bypassed and sitting in the warehouse for good reasons. Avoid
