Super tasty cross between CENTRAL coast CA Pinot and southern Rhône Grenache blend. Just the right amount of fresh black cherry and gentle Mediterranean herbs - lovely, low tannin profile with balanced acidity that defies the 14.5 ALC. FABULOUS at Otto Turkish Döner :) — 3 years ago

Liberty Ciderworks, Spokane WA. 55 Chain English Style Cider. Label claims it to be “dry, tannic and fruit-forward” with Dabinett, Chisel Jersey, and Brown’s cider-specific varietals. Golden brown, excellent clarity, light carbonation, not much head on initial pour. Some oak barreling. Lightly malic with restrained aromatics. Tannic level highly complementary with a light touch on the wood extraction, thankfully. Exceedingly well crafted, great stuff. — 3 years ago

This is about as good as it gets for a Rose. It’s not the cheapest, but I’ve drank a few of these already and it’s hard to keep it in the bottle. Amazingly good on a warm day. So refreshing. The finish is unlike most other roses in the market - smooth and not acidic. @Whetstone Wine Cellars great stuff! — 6 years ago

Golden brown, light carbonation with pinpoint bubbles. Moderate body. Tannic mouthfeel, characteristic of the variety; not barrel aged. Dryish and fruity, interesting flavor profile on finish. A delight. Notes from the cider maker/pomologist online: 6.7% alc/vol. earthy notes balanced by bright fruit notes of green apple, quince, white raisin and mandarin peel, which scan as credible to me. Tasting ciders like this takes practice and a whole new vocabulary. The green apple note is mostly malic to me, but it’s more apt and accurate indeed. Tasting is believing folks. — 5 months ago

Amber brown, fair clarity. Clean nose, slightly perfumed nose. Tropical fruit and apple flavors with crabapple finish, moderate pulp and skin tannins on finish. Semi dry. — 2 years ago

9.3

Golden brown, moderate plus carbonation. Spice and faint sulfur like aroma, reminiscent of acacia wood barreling. The label promises dry, fortuitously fruit-forward cider in the Basque style, which is on point. Lightly astringent, almost bitter but perfumed finish. I really like this one as a possible regular quaff. 7.5% alc/vol — 3 years ago

Smells of dew on grass then apples. Very funky but with some air and warmth becomes much more fruit. Like it. — 5 years ago

Heirloom apples cofermented in a New England style with molasses, raisins and Juneberries (Servis) a traditional berry foraged in the PNW by indigenous people. Golden brown, excellent clarity, 9.2% alc/vol. off dry. Molasses note in nose, Raisin note in mouth, malic finish. Interesting as a traditional style, I like it more some days than others, strangely. — 5 months ago

Light yellow, light carbonation. Label promises “crisp pineapple, stone fruit and honey aromas and flavors”, which is largely accurate. A dry, refreshing and enjoyable cider perfect for special occasions. Made from Crimson Gold crabapples and heirloom apples from O’Brien Farms, Prosser WA. Very nice stuff! — 3 years ago

Tilted Shed. Love’s Labor. Blackberries, elderberries, apples, wild ferment in Sonoma. One of the best ciders I’ve had from CA. I feel I can taste all the berries and apples used. So we’ll balanced with good tannin and acidity. — 5 years ago
