Reddish color. Virtually no nose. Thin legs. Shallow wine with little, if anything, beyond astringency and very sour cherry. Thankfully short finish. Even worse than the same wine we had three months ago. No redeeming virtues to this bottle.

Sour cherry, earth and spice. I found the wine to be a bit dilute, which is funny because I noted "good concentration" in my last bottle. Certainly a feminine expression of the grape with good acidity. Won't make old bones.

Deep ruby. Nose of black licorice and dried flowers. Medium legs. Strong astringency upfront almost overpowers notes of black licorice, sour cherry, leather and spice. Medium finish. Decent, not a favorite.

Sour cherry, cherry pit and earthen flavors accented with Asian spice. There's a hint of dustiness to the fruit as well. Good concentration and persistence in this nicely balanced wine; it's in a nice spot and should drink well until 2020+. An elegant expression of Oregon Pinot Noir.
Consumed at dinner (Cotton Duck) so no formal notes.
