Final bottle from a 6 pack. I must say, this wine has grown on me a bit over the past 2 years that I have consumed it. Tangerine, grapefruit, rhubarb, spicebox, and pepper. There is a definite savory quality to this wine, mixed with sweet/tart citrus notes. Drink it up. Interesting wine on occasion, but not really a re-purchase for me.

orange hue. on the nose lots of skin contact aromas... waxy smells, a bit nat'y. on the palate high acids, moderate depth on the midpalate, finishes phenolic with low alcohol. balanced wine with good length, very good intensity, good complexity. wine has balance, a fine texture, ok expression of place. high quality, intellectual type wine. drink up.

Pours orange, and on the aroma it’s an unsurprising apple, tangerine, and a bit of wet stone. But then on the palate, it’s juicy tangerine and some lemon, mouthwatering as hell on the finish. That’s when you realize it – the skin contact is very much there visually, but on the plate, barely. I could see it (well, taste it) as an Alsatian Pinot Gris, especially as the plate develops. Bright citrus, honey, dried mango, golden raisin. If you’re an orange wine junkie looking for a fix, this probably isn’t for you, but if you’re not, hit it.

5th of 6 bottles, enjoyed on the boat while relaxing in the bay. All enjoyed it, for what it is.

4th of 6 bottles, tasty, a bit oxidized, but I think that is on purpose for this "orange wine".
