Chilion is a perennial star, a rare example of California Cortese that sees six months on skins. It comes from Fox Hill Vineyard, where just two acres are planted to the varietal. It's an elegant and textured orange wine that packs in some apricot fruit and baking spices while showing nice balance and restraint while still having loads of character. There's a nice balance of acidity and a kiss of tannin that makes it a versatile food wine, but can also be an ethereal and contemplative experience on its own.
