Sunday, July 17, 2016 - This is good but it is way more interesting. IIRC, this is Ribolla Gialla fermented on its skins. Pretty orange/ruby in color. It looks like a Rose. The nose has some oranges, with a thin streak of minerality, but atypical minerality at that. Hard to describe. On the palate, this is light to medium bodied yet there is a hint of tannins. Slightly under ripe peach flavors mixing with citrus and what I think Iron Ore might taste like. Not a ton of fruit, yet the wine is still fresh and vibrant. I saved the last few ounces intentionally to see what it does with 24 hours of air (later tonight). Very unique.
