Banshee doesn't just make solid, approachable wines, but also makes of these interesting weirdos like this little guy. I can only imagine when they cracked into this barrel of wine at whatever other winery they bought it from... It tastes like a standard buttery chardonnay where something went awry - to fantastic results! Some oxidation like character with black walnut mixes here with cream and ripe, buttery apple flavors. Very strong and powerful. Cool wine from a cool winery.
