Extra time has done this one well, taming the original 200% new oak. One of the three Bedrock expressions from the Hudson Vineyard. For ‘08. With all previous bottles from that group consumed five or more years ago, glad I saved this one. Loved it. — 4 years ago

2009 vintage. Great stuff. Rich and concentrated, but elegant and balanced. Ripe apple, candied lemon, stone, toasty oak flavors. Fresh w nice acidity — 6 years ago

Unlike ice cider or frost cider made in the United States and Canada, apples are frozen using refrigeration technology meaning the frost only goes one way--in. In nature, apples will freeze, thaw, freeze partially and unfreeze partially, moving sugars throughout the apples. You'll notice a difference in style here because the producer oxidizes the cider as a way to compensate for the artificial freezing process, but it's still a delightful dessert choice on a list. A rep told me to pour it over vanilla ice cream, but I'd rather just drink it straight. Notes of oak, caramel and baked fruit, it reminds me of a dreamy blend of sherry and Madeira. — 8 years ago

For a red lover, and not a fan of Chards, this wine knocked me off my feet! I absolutely Loved it! If I could describe my perfect request for a white wine, it would be this one. Butterscotch, almond, a slight fruity hint of lemon zest but not sharp or tart, buttery and bright yet incredibly smooth and a nice heavy feel. This is my favorite white wine ever! (And ranks above some of my fave reds). — 2 years ago

Eric Bordelet plants & maintains over 20 varieties of apples to achieve the sweet / bitter / sour balance in this dry cider. Organic & Biodynamic, it tastes like biting into the fruit itself. — 5 years ago

Very enjoyable. Lovely nose with lemon custard, candied pineapple, overripe pear, and nuanced buttery popcorn. Great structure and awesome balance. Worthy of buying in bulk. — 4 years ago

Soft and bubbly, apple champagne. Flavorful but subtle enough that it can be paired as a desert wine. — 5 years ago

Santa Claud sings jazz to you in a small bar in Normandy, and you're cold but ruddy. Is this stand up or true mirth? It's the holiday you imagine in a bar near Skid Row in Downtown LA when you take a sip of this and are transported by a northern bite to your tongue. Irony or sincerity--it's so fresh but so sweet! I could go for more fizz, but one only feels permitted to request such things when engulfed by luxury — 8 years ago
