  Copper hue and deep pink in color due to the mace ration of skin. The nose was grassy and floral with hints of tropical fruits. Great depth on flavor with notes of cream, pear, banana, and stone fruits. Lots of acidity and a medium finish. A great wine and a must try.

  The 6th Quinquennial Wine and Food Extravaganza (New Jersey, USA): This was made with 6-8 hours of skin maceration and fermented 90% in steel and the rest in previously used large oak casks then aged "on the lees" for 5 months thereafter. We opened my last 8 bottles for the evening's festivities about 2 1/2 hours before serving with a quick double decant. The color was a light copper pink. The nose was floral, grassy, with tropical fruit and mineral scents. It had huge acidity on the attack that sparked a sense of effervescence. The flavor profile showed great depth with pear, banana, almond, cream and was medium long on the finish. This was particularly good with the shrimp salad spoon.

  Nicely balanced, good amount of skin maceration. Added some complexity and interesting back end. Good fruit and acid. Drank with Thai spiced meatballs and rice

  I was told this is an "orange wine", based on the color in the glass I agree. Deep color, orange hue. Makes sense to me that more skin contact would yield more flavor, at least in some wines.
  
  Strong aeromatics, medium full body with bold fruit, ample but not overwhelming acidity. Good with food and on it's own. Tons of flavors, in agreement with all tasting notes posted on this wine. Powerful, flavor lingers on the palate for minutes.
