Really really geeky style of Chardonnay. Michael Mara vineyard, farmed by Steve Matthiasson, worked on as well by Abe Schoener of Scholium. Very minimal sulfuring has given this a slightly oxidative note. Smells like apple cider, funk, and green tree fruit. Palate is uber funky with high acid, orange blossom, citrus. Bone dry and zingy. Lovely.
