Oct 4th, 2015A big fan of this producer but perhaps this bottle is a bit out of whack. Needed to be open for 24 hours to throw off the fumes and show its pretty tangerine fruit.

This wine offers a rare experience, even for those that are perhaps "experienced" wine drinkers. Fermented on the skins like a red, we have the classic golden color here, with the lees and extracted fruit coming across the nose like peaches and cream. The palate is more rigerious with some sourness and intense drying tannins.

You think you are getting to know Bea and then you drink the new releases and your mind is blown all over again. This is why wine is so much fun!

Apr 13th, 2015Extended skin contact. Copper-orange colored, good grip and a complex array of flavors. Citrus peel, cooked apple, perhaps green plum... you get the idea. Good stuff.

Jul 13th, 2018I know there's a lot of hand wringing over orange wine but if you love wine this demands your attention. It's so provocative. Amazing a wine can do such a thing.
