Every year this wine has all of the richness and complexity of orange wine with none of the volatility or funk. I love it.

I love how this wine has such tannic grip while retaining its essential stone fruit character, overlaid with some of the classic "orange" wine apricots and orange zest. Fresh and ready to go, years ahead for development...

Sweet plantains, wax beans, and paraffin. Lots of skin tannins, texture, and a lingering finish.

Butterscotch and brine. Orange buttercream with a dusty note. Rich and bold with pleasant oxidative qualities. Chewy skin tannins.

Killer!! Rich, stone fruit, salted caramel, savory marzipan finish with lots of mouth-watering cut.

Total love. Not quite ripe apricot- so not sweet. Love it all around. Thanks Max Kogod.
