October 5, 2015 - Just in an incredible place. Needs a couple hours to come together but once its there it is this melange of pit fruit. apricots, peaches, nectarines, you name it it's got it. Also a beautiful anise undertone. Super expressive very fresh and lithe in the mouth. Just awesome.

August 10, 2013 - Color: Translucent orange/peach
Nose: Bazooka Joe, light wood putty, orange zest
Palate: Tang, honey suckle, apricot seeds, baking powder, marmalade

Amazing wine. Constantly changing in the glass. Great balance and tension considering the incredible aromatics and palate. -

March 2, 2013 - Domaine Wine Storage Saturday BYOB (Domaine Wine Storage (Chicago)): Marmalade, subtle hone, daffodil flowers. Palate is so smooth. Soft peach fuzz. Great texture. Love Bea's wines. Such a unique esoteric orange bottling.

March 2, 2013 - Another Saturday at Domaine (Domaine Wine Storage, Chicago IL): Nose: Complex and gorgeous nose with tones of nectarines, peaches, pears, white fruits, red florals, and a touch of wax tones as well.
Taste: Medium bodied with medium+ acidity. The acidity is on the tart side along with flowing tones of nectarines, peaches, white fruits, red florals, some orange peels and a bit of wax.
Overall: This was a lovely wine. There is some real nice complexity and depth on both the nose and palate with a real attractive quality to the wine on the whole.
