Rich and complex, but light on it's feet at the same time. Little (new) oak influence, but yeasty and full malo. Bottle didn't last long. Great stuff from a great vineyard from one of my favorite producers.

State of confusion. Oak and oxidative. Super deep yellow. Just don't know what's happening with this winery.

Perfect with thanksgiving day 2. Joseph Swan doesn't let us down. It's got a nice little buttery finish.
