  Heavy on the oak. Not my favorite.

  Winebar [4 Whites, 8 Reds, & 3 *shared* IMPRESSIVE reds] from 09/28/18] (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): 100% Barrel fermented & aged (16 mos) in 100% new FR oak; 100% malolactic; 14.2% ABV, 6.1 g/l T.A., & 3.48 pH; Only 38 cases made
  
  N: ATTRACTIVE melding of butter, lemons, & sandalwood
  
  P: Med, poss LM, body; RNDISH entry with NICE oak & frt BEAUTIFULLY counterbalanced by an acidity which slowly, seamlessly transitions into quite a LONG, tangy/swt finish with the barest hint of a very, VERY slight bitterness. ELEGANTLY made for now & through '21, + may well even improve. My EXC. 97 pts Jeb Dunnuck, 94 & a "Pinot Geek" Prince of Pinot, & 90 Vinous. [Check with this vendor if interested in their *very* COMPETITIVE price.]
