  If John Lockwood makes it, I will try it, even in genres that I do not normally pursue. This is an interesting wine, blending varieties, with the skin contact adding significant depth to white wine character, rather than picking up red wine character as happens with some "orange" wines. Dried pineapple, peach skin and a fresh straw/hay element make for an interesting aromatic tableau. There is a richness on the palate, verging on a glyceral texture, and it carries the depth and weight to the back end, where some skin contact tannin kicks in, as well as a bit of tartness which results in a very clean finish. I tried this at a range of temperatures, and it seemed to show best several degrees below room temp, say 65 degrees or so.

  Fun tasting at Weygandt Wines with John Lockwood. The second of four wines being poured. Definitely unfiltered and medium to deep yellow. A little floral on the nose with some dirt and honeycombs. Love the mouthfeel and texture, balanced tannins (5.5/10) and acidity (6/10). Dark citrus notes with some hay. Packs a punch with a medium plus body. Just as John says "this wine is like rock and roll". A slight zing in the long finish. Drink till 2020.
  
  This wine is made up of 60% Chenin Blanc and the rest of Marsanne, Roussanne and Viognier. Aged for 16 months in neutral oak on the lees.
