Burnt, amber orange appearance. The nose is redolent with orange marmalade and notes of dried apricots, ripe mangoes, florals, and orange zest. It's on the lighter side of viscous, sporting a crunchy texture, agreeable acidity, adequate complexity, and a streak of minerality that crescendos from mid-palate through the orange zest finish. Sweet, but not cloying, the fruit masks the alcohol (15%) making it easy to finish a half-bottle. Had it on its own but this would be a perfect match for cheesecake.

Nose: oranges, reminiscent of pine cleaning fluid. Taste: orangey, cloying.

Love this wine with dessert. Apricot and citrus, with a hint of black tea and honey. Killer value.

Matched perfectly with peach-cream pie. Very fruit-forward and juicy. Not much acidity, but not overly sweet. Would buy again (at $11 for 375ml)
