These tasting notes are meant to invoke scent memories - Wrap around porch. Tire swing. Tree trimming on a kefir orchard. Liquid metal. Electrical storm.

This wine does not adhere to conventional standards. Perhaps that is why this wine is so delicious. Its aromas and flavors include earth, dust, savory spices, and fresh citrus. Pair it with a mildly-spiced Hunan mix of bamboo shoots, chestnuts, and red pepper flakes.
