The color of a flaming sunset, this orange wine, made from Pinot Gris, opens with hedonistic aromas of ginger, candied pineapple, nectarine and marmalade, backed by honeyed flower-blossom scents and the slightest mushroomy funk to remind you that we're not in Kansas anymore, Toto. The palate crackles and pops with tangy flavor. There's a pithy, tannic tug on the tongue, mouthwatering acidity and a lengthy finish. Clean, ripe and fresh, this is just plain delicious.

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
