    The 2024 SKINS opens with a vivid bouquet that recalls sun tea and blood orange. It is sweet upon entry, with a liquid floral concentration that saturates the senses as nuances of apricot and melon swirl throughout. Fresh and medium in length, the 2024 finishes with a hint of candied citrus.
  • 91ptsWine Enthusiast
    This brand was an early adopter to the skin-contact trend and remains one of the more serious-minded producers. In this case, a 12-grape blend led by Chenin Blanc produces a slightly copper-hued wine that's full of tangerine and maraschino cherry on the nose, exuding Old Fashioned cocktail vibes. The palate is all about texture and flavors of orange peel and iron.
