Breaking Bread Orange Wine 2020 Review

Eric Miller is a great winemaker. His attention to detail is very precise and his grasp of chemistry and science is scary. He makes wine for Kokomo Winery but also has the second lineup of wines he calls Breaking Bread where he attempts to make what people consider “natural” wine and make it soundly without glaring flaws. And he succeeds again and again at it. This is orange wine (yeah, the title gets straight to the point…respect). It's made from Muscat Blanc and is as expressive as all of his wines. Floral and peppery herbs notes welcome your nose. The palate is lux with a smooth mouthfeel that gives a creamy vibe and an additional aroma of jasmine. It’s refreshing, expressive, and balanced all at once. Nice one Eric keep’em coming!
