Skin Fermented Antle Vineyard Melon 2014

9.1

Once I stopped wanting this to be Muscadet (much lower acidity) or Ramato Pinot Gris (not nearly the tannin/phenolic structure) I really enjoyed this. It's a much quieter and more nuanced 'orange' wine, rewarding close attention and time taken. Lots of development over 3 days, and I'm curious where this is in another year or two.

Amazing orange! Smells like an ice wine, but drinks like the skin contact Pinot Gris that it is. Great glass to finish dinner with. — 9 years ago

Sluice Box El Dorado White Rhone Blend 2013

This is awesome. How often do you get a blend of vermentino, marsanne, Grenache blanc, picpoul from the U.S. With 50% skin fermentation. Almost looks like Sauternes in the glass. But the mouthfeel and balance are amazing. — 10 years ago

Bea skin contact, less funky and tannic mouthfeel than the 2007 but still a joy! — 11 years ago
