Honey Asian pear bruised apple. Slightly oxidized. Reminds me of older Chenin. Definite yes.

Faint caramel coated green apple, a bit of golden raisin, fresh clean finish with great balanced acidity

Surprising weight and texture, partial skin fermentation, partial direct press. Geeky wine more than a crowd pleaser, and really needs food. I dig it. #kogodwinemerchant

Post Women of the Vine wine. Intriguing wine with multiple layers that continue to evolve in the glass.

Weighty and rich with pear, jasmine, and bruised apple. I think I wanted a bit more classic tartness and green apple, but that's just a style thing.

A bright yellow color...pretty. Apples and baking spices, a little honey with soft citrus flavors. Aged for 2 weeks with skin on... The Winemaker was passionate. ..and that's an understatement. I was much impressed with his enthusiasm for what goes in the bottle. Try their Barbera too.
