Really excellent orange wine... all the kaleidoscopic flavor and aromatic progression that make good skin contact wines enjoyable. Though would have liked more acid. — 7 years ago

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

In a world where skin contact whites seem to be vying for the title of orangest, haziest, apricottyest, the elegance and grace in this wine are a reminder of the possibilities. Aged on the skins in amphora, the result is a bright, orchard and citrus mountain stream with an amazing texture that never once makes you think orange wine. From magnum, which seems to me to be the right serving size for two. — 7 years ago

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

Dark and thick, syrupy but not too sweet. Tastes like blackberry, oak, tobacco, coffee, dark cherry. Very rich colour, smooth. — 10 years ago

Super dark inky red, with magenta streaks. Thick chunky notes of creme de cassis, tobacco and spice on the nose, with just the slightest touch of VA. Velvety smooth and thick with strong presence of ripe plum, integrated and nuanced tannins and a zing of limoncello based acidity that enters by mid palate. The finish is warmed by some boozy laced spiciness, and ends with smoldering vanilla and bourbon tones. A touch sweet overall, but still a stellar example of how to do Napa cab, especially for the price. — 10 years ago

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. Thanks @Hardy Wallace ! — 9 years ago

Ryan's wine. Skin contact is very evident, but the balance is good. Nice acidity. Good salmon wine tonight. — 10 years ago

Loads of fruit. A note of dried apple skin. Close to perfection but there is still plenty of time left in this bottle. — 10 years ago

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