One of my favorite New California orange wines - all the additional texture and phenolic complexity, but not at the expense of obliterating the variety. If anything, the extra tannic grip helps keep a normally flabby Roussanne in check and moving across the palate. Nice with a little extra time in the bottle, too.

Have to admit I'm loving this. It's definitely on the orange wine spectrum with the touch of skin contact, but so amazingly aromatic. It smells exactly like dried apricots and almond extract and some thyme. And then there's a generous ripe California fruit component that is kept in check by the grip of the tannins and that specific kinda bitter "orange" texture. Definitely my favorite bottle yet from this producer!

Spice citrus, nectarine and floral aromas. Flavor follow aromas, plus nice mineral undertone. Chewy tannins. Killer with spicy Buffalo wings

White flowers, stone fruits and cinnamon. Waxy and tannic. Acid seems slightly out place.
