This ramato from forlorn hope is 💯 !! Kind of a baby orange wine - definite tannic structure but also fresh & juicy & crushable. Blood orange & bitters!

There's a freshness to the nose that reminds me of still-fermenting barrels of Cabernet. In the glass this orange wine is more straight forward than it's more funky brethren, but still delights with a well-structured body and juicy acidity.

Soft red fruit, peaches, bright acidity, round, and so so lovely. More flavorful than aromatic

From Rorick vineyard in Calaveras County (Sierra Foothills). Deep onion skin color. Grapefruit, peaches and flowers. Well-structured, with the subtle bitterness of really ripe grapefruit and a slightly spicy finish.2014 vintage. Abv. 12,58 %.

Wild and interesting natural orange wine. Autumn leaves, apple cider vinegar, cranberry juice. Great on the Thanksgiving table. Different with every sip

Rosé killer but so much more serious than that. Best with several years of age on it but incredible now as well.

juicy & stone fruit driven Pinot Gris. Just a little smokiness / bitter citrus rind from the fermentation. I'd substitute for rosé all summer, this is just awesome #orangewine
