See Saw Wine Marge Orange 2023 scores 92 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A Pinot Noir and Gamay blend of liveliness and drinkability. Crunchy texture up front, raspberry and blood orange in the mix, a touch of tart-sweet red berry fruitiness to finish and a flourish of green herbs and cinnamon spice. It feels energetic and ready to be drunk with a good chill. Does the trick.” $35. @seesawwine @orangewineregion #Marge #Orange #liveliness #drinkability #energetic #92 🙌🙌

Soumah Yarra Valley Pinot Grigio 2024 scores 93 points from Mike Bennie in WBM. “A perky, bright and fresh rendering of the variety, with distinct varietal character of nashi pear, Japanese pickled ginger, cut grass and Real Lemonade all making landfall. Quite compact and yet good in its sense of concentration, a perky minerally finish and a twist of pink grapefruit juice there too. Really good drinking here.” $33. @soumahwines @yarravalleywine #Soumah #YarraValley #PinotNoir #perky #bright #fresh #93 🙌❤️
