My first orange wine. Dried apricot, white peach, nectarine, melon, sour orange. Great body- and grippy tannins like I've never felt from a white wine! Earthy, slightly herbal. Super interesting. Loved it!

Booyah! The best Orange wine I've had. Flowers, Apricot, spice, and some sherry and Belgian beer notes, Wonderful tannin, such a joy in a "white" wine.

Unusually minerally Roussanne, well reined-in by modest alcohol, firm acidity & a hint of tannins.
