Bonny Doon, Le Cigare Orange, Central Coast, USA 2023

The Bonny Doon orange wine is consistently a success. As I'm sure you're aware, dear reader, no oranges were harmed in the making of this wine. It offers a point of intrigue without alienating the drinker, drawing us in with a lightly spiced perfume, orange rind, dried mango, quince and pot pourri. It's tactile and crunchy with a tart, toasty, orange-laced finish.
