  Really great. certainly not mainstream. Beautiful almost orangish color, piney core, accidic, refreshing, sort of a salinity, probably oxidized.

  This was a tough wine to get my head around. On the one hand it was big and powerful, yeasty, savory, almost orange colored, with sharp acids and a long finish. On the other hand it was almost a little too big and powerful, a little too yeasty and savory. The acids tickle the sides of your mouth and the finish is long with a touch of grapefruit bitterness. There is a certain oxidation to the wine which is also reflected in the nose and finish.
  
  A lot to take in in a single sip. This is a wine for a BIG flavored meal, not for the faint of heart.....

  Deep gold color and pronounced baked apple, nutmeg and orange wine twang on the nose. Surprisingly fresh tasting though. Easy drink really with more apple pie and skin contact beer-like flavors. Really was a fairly generous skin contact wine without too many complications. Perhaps that is a nit, in that it doesn't offer much complication for the price. A one note wine but it's a very nice note.
