Wild. Super deep nose. Reminiscent of Jura Chardonnay on the palate with a touch or red burg. This is big and fresh. Very unusual, and very good!

Crazy. Fermenting candied apple. Nice golden nutty nose. Character carries to the palate. Pinot characteristics.

Everyone thought this was gone. Liked the slightly oxidized notes and acidity but the golden brown color said it all.
