A zippo being lit sans fluid, river rocks, a civil war battle, a pretzel, and applesauce spooned over said river rocks...delicious

Kumquat, tobacco leaf, parsley seed...just mind bending, palate invigorating goodness. Can not wait to get my hands on a bottle of 2012.

Earthy, parsley seed, turnip root, horseradish makes this pair incredibly well with all kinds of savory dishes. This has an insane amount of mineral depth. You can taste roots going deep through flinty soil and schist. Then you have a citrus aspect. Bright lime juice, lemon zest. It’s all there and makes this wine so versatile.
