  January 31, 2024 - The color of the wine is quite a golden orange dissipating from the center into a greenish gold. On the nose you can detect apricot plum floral notes. Not overly aromatic. On the pallet the taste is bright and fresh. flavors of citrus fruit, fresh acidity, and the added tannins from the fermentation process. The finish is long not overly acidic and quite crisp. Very good wine to try the orange style at only 12 - 16 bucks.

  January 2, 2024 - PnP. Pale orange in the glass fading to a thin watery rim. Nose actually gives quite a bit of orange peel, along with dried strawberries, mild herbs, and furniture polish. Medium-bodied with medium plus acidity, tastes of lanolin, dried orange, and talc. Medium minus tannins. Previous vintages have tasted "fresher". This is a beginners orange wine without the heavy tannins and challenging flavors many others have. Think of it as a heavy rose. Drink now through 2025.
