In UM defense, that’s how you highlight terroir over a house style 
Totally get that! But fyi, i believe most offerings do have dosage, albeit somewhat minimal. You mentioned purchasing 2017 and 2018, and the Heintz BdB from both vintages was 2G/L.
Doesn’t really matter since you don’t dig the wines anyway but figured I’d mention it 
A uniquely low bar for a positive experience. I envy your cheery outlook.

Tried UM for the first time last night. 19’ BdB Heintz. Really interesting wine. More interesting than delicious perhaps, but was an enjoyable glass of wine. Jalapeno on the nose for sure. Several people couldn’t place it and had big “aha!” moments when that was suggested to them. There were other vegetal notes on the palate, but fruit and stone and bread back there too. I don’t think I’d spend a few hundred bucks for it, I just don’t have enough wine people over to the house who would enjoy the uniqueness of it. But was happy to try it and enjoyed it – though easy to see how a few more steps in the vegetal direction could be way overboard.

Anyone attending the tasting in NYC next week? They are pouring the 21 vintage and a few library wines. I have to assume they won’t be pouring any 2020. Either way, I am going so see you there if you are attending.
