I’ve never been wowed by orange wines in my somewhat limited exposure. However this is such a lovely sip on day 2. Just the right kiss of skin contact creating a feast of complimentary yet also divergent flavor sensations. As others have mentioned it’s mixed citrus notes, saline, perfect acid balance leads to a long spicy white pepper finish. Wish I had more of this one. Compliments to the chef.

Tasted after 90 minutes of air. Orange color. Tangy citrus fruit. Nice balance. Medium finish. Agree with the previous comment that this is reminiscent of a Chenin Blanc from the Loire.

Very impressive wine. Precise, clean aromas of apricots and secondary baking spice (allspice, clove, and nutmeg) notes. I don't recall ever experiencing "fall in a glass" quite so specifically. Seville orange, apricot, and blood orange zest on the palate. Wow. I love this wine. Quite an introduction to Sabelli-Frisch!

Still a bangin wine. Rich and deeply flavored (crushed pineapple) without being sweet, oxidative without being weird. Bravo.
