Further improved with air exposure. We love this SB expression. Secure some if you can.

Single-barrel scarcity makes this a “must try.” It generates a meaningful event and a good disruption on the palate.
Green apples combine with melon and bright acidity - the signature of a typical SB. Moderately sweet. Serve it to those who appreciate uncommon excellence in wine. Approach the winery for this.

Subtle, yet riveting.
Only one barrel produced. For such a rare gem, at $75 per, I consider this to be close to faultless, and extremely virtuous.

We were fortunate enuf to secure a case of this 19 vintage. Impressive for its subtlety and poise.

I found this to be very similar to the Crescere in that the aroma was intoxicating and exotic. The palate was complex and layered. While this had more of a wispy mouthfeel, I loved it for its honeycomb and passion fruit notes, which played off light acidity.
Only one barrel produced, so it may be easier to find rocking horse shit!

@David L and Kristen’s cellar. Can’t thank you guys enough!
