So complex! Foraged pears in barrel for 2 years. Nose is funk, pears, a bit of citrus and forest. Palate is funky acid with more citrus, pears, tart apple. Label states it is oxidative and I get a bit of that but really good balance. — 4 years ago

One of the best. Sidra-style perry made in NY, but not faddish at all. John Reynolds, one of my favorite iconoclastic wine/cider-makers, has been doing it this way for decades. Micro production. Loads of VA but flat out delicious; vibrant, textured, rich and soulful. Do yourself a favor and find some of this if you like natural wine. I’d argue this kills almost any high-VA natural wine. Why? There’s a historical precedent for the style, the flavor profile makes sense, it’s clean and well-made. Great stuff. — 4 years ago

My standard for perry is very high. This is very good. Perry is hard to execute and this is close to textbook. — 3 years ago

Oliver’s fine Perry at the hop #11.
definitely my first hopped Perry. Really well balanced. Beautiful fresh flavors of honeysuckle, some citrus, and obvious hops that add a nice grassy and funk note. — 5 years ago

Wow! Maybe best perry I’ve ever had. More like perry champagne/wine. I get pears, chalk, some berries, cream, stone, and a bit of funk. So drinkable, so complex, so well balanced. Thank you redfield cider! Best cider bar in the world. — 3 years ago
