Five clone Chardonnay from Northern Red Hill. Bleach / chlorine, grape jelly, watermelon Gatorade, nectarine flesh, brown lime, roasted cashew. Acid is assertive but not overpowering, it shows a grapefruit like pithiness. — 9 years ago
Pear skin nose. Weight on a steely, mineral frame. So good with pesto. More refreshing than a Gatorade on turf tbh — 9 years ago
This is one of the most exciting wines I have had in ages and so totally in my wheelhouse for what I want out of this category that I could stand to have a keg of this on tap in my kitchen. I am tempted to rate this 10/10 as I literally cannot imagine it being more perfect or more satisfying, and am just coming (slightly) more down to earth on account of the fact that I will admit that even the greatest skin contact white wine ever made is maybe not at the level of the 1945 Romanee-Conti. That said, this is the greatest skin contact white wine ever made. It's what they all should be. The level of freshness just knocks your socks off. It's like a Super Bowl Gatorade dunk for the palate. The fruit flavors are succulent and unabashedly delicious - lots of peach, some melon, and unidentified other stuff contributing to the type of tropical refreshment that would make you want to put this in a mai tai glass with a little umbrella in it, and with a texture as sharp and acute as an icicle. The hue at the moment is a luminous salmon - even the color is enticing. It is not "orange wine." My complaint with many skin contact whites is that they pick up their depth and intrigue at the expense of freshness and drinkability. But here there is no tradeoff. This has the freshness of a dozen oysters and the drinkability is off the charts. Guzzling it is more like it. — 10 years ago

Peaches and other BC stone fruit. Low acidity but not too sweet. So smooth and refreshing it may become my new Gatorade. — 9 years ago
a wild wine from the Roussillon - grapefruit, lemon curd, cheesecake, passion fruit. Palate cleansing and refreshing. Lemon lime gatorade with an acid kick ⚡️interesting ++ + — 9 years ago

Love this. Similar style to the semillon when it comes to the skins. There is just enough to add some matte to the texture and some deeper fruit tones, but it stays so fresh and juicy you could be happy with a Gatorade dunk of this. I find the figure a little more feminine and rounded than the semillons, though. For all its freshness and bright meyer lemon citrus fruit, this isn't something that comes across angular; instead, it has a very gentle presence, washing over the palate like a placid stream. And with a mineral element more oceanic. Really have to try one of these with some mollusks, it's all shells and briny beach sand on the back end. — 10 years ago
Drank after a 9 miler. Better then Gatorade, which is shit — 10 years ago
Reminds me of lemon-lime Gatorade. And I mean that as a complete compliment because I f'ing love lemon-lime Gatorade. This wine is wonderful. Great acidity. — 11 years ago
Herbal, green nose, tropical fruits and kiwi. Great acidity, lemon/lime gatorade, would be a great thirstquencher on a hot day. Great value. — 11 years ago

They should call this wine Molto Bene. Well balanced tannins, subtle fruit and dry yet a silky finish. I get plum, chocolate covered cherries, and Gatorade gum wrap. — 10 years ago
Really interesting wine--This was my first rodeo with Cabernet Franc. The nose was tight, but I did get some potpourri smells after a lot of swirling. I tasted two things: violets and Passion Fruit Gatorade. Highly recommend you try it. Enjoy! — 10 years ago
Could drink this while working out. The real Gatorade. — 12 years ago
