Notes from day 2. Slightly hazy. Aromas of melon/citrus as Tooch mentions, maybe a touch of vanilla or cotton candy. The flavors are primarily melon with hints of prickly pear cactus, stone fruit and citrus. Light but smooth texture with a fairly long melon finish. Light acidity/minerality add structure. A unique wine that I rather enjoy. Drinking well now but I see no reason it won't last another couple of years.

Firm, fresh, and delicious. Semillon from D&R is unlike anything else...beautiful combination of fresh melon tones with some lime and lemon. Weightless, although the skin contact gave it really nice texture.

For me this is more interesting and fun as opposed to real serious complexity, notes of lemon yeast?(certainly orange wine reminessent) and subtle ginger, palate is quite light with medium acidity and not a lot of fruit it is hard to derive any real satisfaction from it

Elegant and clean. Wouldn't have guessed skins without the label. A silky plush bablbing brook. Really pretty.
