Dark fruit and dark perfumed florals on the nose. Dark creamed raspberries, raspberry cola, dark cherries, blackberries, black plum, plum, high acid, dark dry earth and dark soft silty minerals, dried dark florals, more spice than their first wines (clove), vanilla and long finish that lasts. The Dundee Hills in the picture and the view from their property.

Leather and earth on the nose. Less fruity nose than most Bergstrom or indeed Oregon pinots. Tart and sour taste, not quite ripe raspberries with some structure around the outside but a little hollow down the center

2014: needed 3+ hours to breathe-I think it would pair well with steak. It’s complex and wonderful but a bit acidic on its own I think.

Holy moly. Youthful, but I'm lucky to have had a few glasses of this tonight.

Almost no fruit. Very dark. Earth and heavy cover. Consistent. More dark fruit on taste but not cherry. 2014

Nose is off-putting, dominated by minerals, very steely starts with some petroleum which quickly dissipates when exposed to air, very little fruit at all. But taste is surprizingly pleasant with lots of astringent tannin up front, rasperries and plenty of acid. Long astringent linger. Very pleasant

Deep musty. Manure. Medical facility / sterile alcohol forward nose. Nose develops over time, and softens from the harsh industrial qualities. Taste is surprising. Big juicy fruit. Alcohol certainly is more prominent than in others by same.
