Initially, out of the gate, I thought, "Ugh! Too much oak." As it got air, the oak is still significant, but other flavors come to the forefront. Honey, white fruit and spiciness on the nose. On the palate, apples and other white fruits. Again some spice on the palate. Not a lingering finish but a nice finish. The oak is more than a frame here. Not to the level of say Kistler. It's right at the threshold of being too much oak for me. But the wine holds together. The bottle says 14 percent alcohol but Glenn noted if it said 14.1 percent they'd have to pay a higher tax. I like it and I would buy it again. Others who are sensitive to oak wouldn't like it.

This wine has funk on the nose, definite barnyard nose, big mouthfeel, tastes true to the varietal. Nice wine.

Consistant with prior notes, I have noticed this wine needs to be srved closer to cellar temp 55-60 than normal wites, it seems to kill the nuances.
