As others said, lactic character is noticeable. Otherwise, sweet berry notes on the nose. Red plum, followed by white pepper and ripe raspberry fill out the dominant palette characteristics. Yum!

Second and last bottle of vintage. Previous notes hold, though I’d note more lactic character and skin astringency in the first hour.

Bought at winery tasting room. Purple, dense, moderately extracted. Blackberry, briar notes in nose with hints of wet concrete floor, funk, veg and spearmint. Blueberry and blackberry flavors with slightly tart blueberry aftertaste. Mild seed tannins and moderate skin astringency in finish. Nice complexity of fruit with no hints of wood or barrel until an hour after opening. A tad much oak for me; I preferred the wine from the first hour.

Winery 2! Richer fruit, more new world style. Preferred 2016 over 2015 which we are told 2016 was a better vintage any how.

Beautifully floral Pinot from Cody and team. Shows an expressive cherry and dark berry opener. A bit of herbal undertone. A year of bottle age really helped this.
