Decided to do something fun for Father’s Day - drink a unique orange wine. This is a 2013 vintage that has deep amber color and is a bit cloudy. Medium nose with tangerine marmalade and black pepper scents. In the glass, first impression in the glass is that the acidity’s going to be killer, but then feels a little soft in the middle. Not to be worried - acidity comes roaring back in the long lingering finish. You can feel your front teeth tingle on this one. Similar flavor profile as the nose. Marmalade, tangerine-citrus, and a flat, warm Sunkist soda - but not in a bad way. Like this wine - not as complex as other orange wines I’ve had, but more drinkable than some of those eccentric versions.

Not grungy bit in a good way, like late 80's guitar rock.
