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

My favorite cider. A sweeter cider but well balanced and slightly spicy for an overall great flavor profile. Their Saskatoon cider is great if you are looking for something a little sweeter and more unusual. — 9 years ago

2008: The overriding impression of the nose was smoky mezcal, no matter how many times I went back to the well. A silky almost glossy quality to the fruit. Most likely VA driving the nose, yet I imagine it's simply this bottle. — 9 years ago

Worth putting down. More concentration than zip. Intense pear action with a great dancing minerality. Layers of mandarin and lemony cream. Great creamy mouthfeel. If you close your eyes, you can smell the eucalyptus trees from the property. — 9 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 — 7 years ago

"Ramey's 2011 Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard is beautifully layered and succulent in the glass. Butter, almonds and hazelnuts all add complexity as this enveloping, resonant Chardonnay shows off its personality."
- Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2014

We use classical Burgundian techniques with the addition of whole cluster pressing of the grapes. All of our Chardonnays go through native yeast fermentation in three-year air dried French and Hungarian oak barrels and then native, delayed malolactic fermentation. The Hudson is aged sur lies for 20-21 months in barrel, and then lightly fined with traditional fining agents before being bottled without filtration. — 10 years ago
