Forlorn Hope "Queen of the Sierra" Orange Wine, Sierra Foothills, California 2023This is a extended skin contact "orange" wine, which Forlorn Hope calls an amber wine. We always like to judge a wine with: "did one sip lead to another?" Boy oh boy did it. This is one of the best skin contact wines we've had and we've been on a hunt for quite some time. From a high altitude vineyard near the northwestern Yosemite National Park border. Farmed organically since 2013. No new oak is utilized, and nothing was added to the must or wine
