Pale orange fading to a rather generous watery rim. Faint nose of mandarin orange, unripe peach. And white flowers - the scents are very withdrawn. Light-bodied with medium acidity, mild tannins, and flavors of sour orange, mineral, and a touch of astringency on the short finish.
I'm not unhappy with this wine, but I was hoping for a bit more...stuffing. There just isn't quite enough "there" there. Drink now through 2025.

Definitely orange, very thin appearing wine. Very tannic and astringent with a gasoline-like nose and taste on day one which masked majority of the fruits and other flavors. Threw it in the fridge and gave it another try the following day and it was a completely different wine. The harshness has mellowed and wine was now more balanced. Medium acidity, medium alcohol, mild tannins. Fruits of unripe peach, orange peel, young strawberries, some minerally flavors. Very pleasant experience on day 2. Would drink again, but only after giving it a good rest after opening.

Insipid and tastes mass produced - spoofy with un/integrated sourness. A bit of a travesty considering what Bonny Doon used to deliver.

While not bad or flawed, just has a utterly lifeless corporatization of orange wine vibe that dominates.
