A pretty low-key orange wine. Nice cloudy, glowy goldfish hue. Strawberry, red cherry, white peach, tangerine, dried savory herbs. Mild tannins, moderate acidity. Approachable and very food-friendly. (This review is for the 2018 Mendocino Marsanne/Roussanne orange wine)

A nice, mild intro to the style if you’re considering veering into orange territory.

Really nice, and was even better when some air got onto it. Pleasant strawberry and orange cream. Some tannins here, but the body is still lite and lifted. Cool little wine, and a perfect introduction into Orange wines.

This is Viognier, roussanne, vermentino, and picpoul blanc that's been cofermented on the skins.... Fascinating

Might have been a little to excited about this one, great floral nose and color, nice acidic start and a clean finish. Understand why many say this is a good ‘gateway’ orange wine but I need more funk!
