Satellite of Soif (Chicago, IL): Super cool label and name. From better parcels of the estate wine. Overall, tons of smoky minerality, but not quite enough fruit to balance out the acidity.

These are drinking great with absolutely no sign of age whatsoever. That surprises me a bit because this wine is a lot like fruit juice, all zippy freshness. I wondered how that would hold up, but it's been great. Despite the winemaker's reputation, there is absolutely no funk or flaw in this wine (I like a fair degree of funk in wine, but not all do). Really just excellent, unique stuff. Not what you want all the time but occasionally such a breath of fresh air. Also worth noting that this drinks well on its own for its fruit-juice like nature, but has the acidity to go with food as well.
