This wine is a cannon.  Wait no, it’s a symphony. Ok wait, really, it’s a ballet dancer dancing on a gently flowing river of smoke and stone. It’s not what I wanted – but that’s a good thing for all of us. What I wanted was a Grüner Veltliner for the holiday ham. What I got is a wine that really needs to be consumed alone. Not as in by yourself, but rather as in without food. If you knew how good it really is, you wouldn’t share it with anybody either. This is a wine of incredible depth, complexity and extraction – the rare white that could age for two decades. But who’s got the patience? It’s so good right now. It’s got a pwerful, uber-dense profile, with incredible mineral depth, sage, white peach and pipe smoke all flow from the glass. Don’t worry about the Demeter certification (100% Biodynamic), or the fact that this wine is  produced in super-small batches from some of the most prized Austrian vineyards. What you should be worrying about are the excuses you’re going to need when it turns out you drank the whole bottle by yourself.
