Delightful Oregonian Brut Nature Rosé made from Pinot Meunier in a fragrant, bright pink apple cider expression, chutney, and peachy mango pickle. Beguiling and every bit as charming as it is exotic. Raising this glass to the West —and the wondrous Lett family. À santé! — 7 years ago
Absolutely delicious skin contact with apricot, cider, chestnut notes, good acidity, creamy finish with tangerine and orange zest. — 4 years ago

Decanted ~5hrs.
Deep purple color with a nice ruby edge.
Nose is reminiscent of Passe-Tout-Grains whereas the Gamay adds a little of acidity to the mix. Very bright/aromatic fresh cherry, touch of alcohol (13% ABV), over-ripe strawberry and mashed green herbs.
Palate has tannic red cherry fruit, leather, flat cherry cola, herbal-mineral traits and medium finish.
This wine is from Moselle in the Lorraine region of France, tight against Germany in the northeast corner of the Country. Directly parallel and 175km drive West from Baden, Germany, whereas I believe, there are also a few winemakers doing extraordinary things with Pinot Noir, take notice. Only a total of 0.006 hectares on this plot, a very nice effort here.
Paired with duck confit, shredded atop green lentils with just a splash of cider vinegar to brighten, all great. — 6 years ago
Crisp apple pie with a subtle hoppy bite. — 5 years ago

Far West Cider, Pie Crimes. This is outstanding when prepping for thanksgiving. Very tart apples with just enough off-dry character and spices to make it seasonal. Highly recommend for cooking and baking. Maybe even a perfect 10 in those situations! — 3 years ago
