Stewed and baked apple, lovely bitterness at the end of the palate, honeycomb on the nose, rainier cherry on the nose, slate on the end of the palate. Very cool, a little tight but it feels right.

Spritzy, cider-like and somewhat unpleasant on opening, not much changed after a day re-corked in the fridge. 4 days in the fridge later, this has finally settled down and shows some ripe stone fruit and wet wool, full body, med + acid. This is nice, but a poor QPR.

Deep brown gold hue. Beautiful nose. Hint of effervescence. With a very intense mussel, caviar, olive oil, lemon dish, this is a great pairing. More of the minerality, white fruit come out. A unique wine that is very enjoyable with strong flavored seafood.
