Red cherry. Young, acidic.

Some brett. Musty.
CORKED
Light-bodied. A bit green but well balanced. Fruit starting to fade - drink up.
Sulfur/reduced. Undrinkable.
Medium-bodied. Red fruit.
Hint of sulfur but the fruit carries the day. The tannis are drying but not distracting - need some aging. Good acidity.
Medium-bodied. Nice fruit and well balanced. Good complexity, especially after it opened up in the glass. My only knock on the wine would be that it has a hint of a metallic finish.
Medium-bodied. Typical pinot but nothing extraordinary.
Lots of CO2 that wouldn't blow off. Ok fruit but not many redeeming qualities.
C02 soda-pop.
Standard pinot
Again, some CO2. Seems to be typical of BF.
Dull/bland. Red fruit. Not much going on.
Dead. Fruit is gone. Only OH- left
Anise. Syrupy. Big/concentrated and tannic.
No notes.
Medium to full-bodied. Tannins still a bit harsh, but the fruit is very nice. Revisit in a few years.
Green. OH-. Ok fruit.
No notes
