Orange 14.0% Screwcap $28
This didn’t quite win my heart but it’s a good wine nonetheless. Medium bodied and very much on the leafy side but black and blue fruits break through nicely. Chocolate oak is well judged and there’s a nice bit of spice on exit.
Structurally, there’s bright, if tangy, acidity and assertive Cabernet tannin. It’s well balanced and has some length. The interest factor is high even if the execution isn’t spot on. Certainly some potential for the variety and the vineyard in the future.
Fond but not in love.
