Very well made but not what I want from wine. I have posted how much I enjoy my beer in this style and if I tasted this blind I would have identified as such. Strong acidic backbone with complex flavors. Enjoyed but I can obtain the same flavor profile from other beverages. My score reflects how well this was executed .

Cool wine, but totally not worth the money.

More like a traditional rose than their rose. Delicious wine with Gris up front and vibrant Noir on the finish. And the labels are just gorgeous.

Beautiful wine. It is funky, amazing flowers, wild strawberries, green stems, hay, a tannin structure that is fascinating. It’s almost like a Rhône or northern Italian red mixed with jura. Way better over a few hours of air.

Not a natural wine expert by any means but this is the stuff. Crunchtastic.

Quite bright with great acid. The orange wine to pour for your friends who haven’t had orange wine. @Steve Anderson

Co-fermented Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris...8 day’s of skin contact. Lovely medium rose color... bright cherry/ berry nose... dry and well-balanced. Lovely food wine at a winemaker dinner in Chicago. Positively sang with trout tartare, cucumber and creme fraische.
