Rich creamy texture vanilla butterscotch very well endowed with layers of spice and a firm underbelly of acidity. Caramel corn big but quite balanced. Long layered finish 45+ most excellent only natural yeast used all wines unfiltered simple winemaking not over handled. This is the wine that put them on the map aged in barrel for 16 months one of the secrets to making unfiltered wine that extra length in barrel. Red wine drinkers white could be all the oak

Congratulatory splurge from Scnucks. $60/bottle. Good, but less expensive chards are just as good or better.
