Stewed strawberries and violets on the nose. Light to medium body, sour cherry with medium+ acidity and noticeable tannins. Disjointed, may just need time.
Savory nose, miso, maybe a hint of brett. Medium bodied, fresh red berry fruit and great balance of fruit, acidity and light tannins. Long finish. Delicious.
Dark fruited nose with some brett. Medium bodied with nice dry extract and savory, smoked meat notes. Medium acidity to balance. Maturing and in a nice place.

Fruity, grape candy nose. Light bodied with sour fruit. Not a lot going on in the midpalate. Simple and a bit boring.

Interesting nose of red fruit, soy and green pepper. Medium bodied, way too much green pepper to get over. Some tannins too.
