Apothic
Brew Limited Release Cold Brew Coffee Infused Red Blend
California, USA
Wine and coffee? Had to try it. Smells are coffee. Notes are a really light red with hint of coffee. Without the smell this could be a super light Pinot. Almost no aftertaste. Maybe a slight bitter but nothing that lingers like some of Apothic’s other reds. I’d call this a fun dessert wine. Serve with chocolate or for the great conversation starter it is. It’s not sweet but seems like it would serve well cold. I’d buy again for the novelty or for last course.

This was so awful, I dumped it down the drain. And I rarely do that, because it’s a sin against wine.

If you think of this as a coffee beverage this is the best fucking thing I’ve had that had caffeine in months. If you think of it as wine you will feel a wee bit ill. I felt both. But really it tastes like a sweet coffee drink with a berry burn. Wine? Fuck no. Tasty sweet drink? Sure. More interesting than bottled Frappuccino. Plus the alcohol factor. I could never recommend this to a wine connoisseur but it i shamefacedly have to tell you it’s tasty.

Nice coffee flavor with caramel finish. Dessert wine but not too sweet.

The flavor’s intriguing, but I couldn’t drink this on a regular basis.

Jun 27th, 2020Lots of flavour. Notes of red fruit and toasted Oak, hence of coffee. Well-balanced. Lots of finish. Has some ruby port characteristics when well aerated.

Such an interesting concept- red wine infused with cold brew coffee.
Red fruit, toasted oak with slight hint of coffee.
Full bodied.
Somewhat artificial but this wasn't unexpected.
Fun to drink as it was very different.
