I like it oodles. I also am on the fence as to whether I wanna have a girl date coffee meetup monthly with it cause it feels like a girlfriend wine. Which isn’t to say it’s tasty and I would never regret our honeyed slightly nuances with very squashed pear backdrop. Haven’t gotten to know the rest of Roark’s wine but should do that

Underripe citrus and tree fruits. Stony and savory. Moderate acidity and low body at 12%. Natural wine with 3 months’ malo.

Ryan @roarkwineco spoke of "the Terroir of machinery and equipment." It was the first time I had heard of such a thing. Super interesting.

Stone fruit-peach and juicy honey-lemon and pineapple float across the palate happily. Great with goat and other cheeses.

2017. Light, clean, not quite oaky, not quite floral. Mysterious with a comfortably transparent facade. Who needs Chardonnay or viognier? Who needs mimosas? Serve me good cheese, a good book, and this.

Med+ acid, definitely feeling the roundness of the lees, not much fruit character, good example of natural wine!
