Orchard fruit, minerality, apple cider started to dominate as it opened up. — a year ago

Took this a while to open up, but when it did a lovely cascade of sweet apple and orchard with a hint of cider bitterness at the end — 6 years ago

Right wine, wrong spelling of Cru.
Fresh-pressed apple cider, like you’re at the apple orchard/farm in the fall. — 7 years ago

My bottle is labeled "Gran Malvasia 2016". On the nose, this is apple orchard or maybe a peach orchard where the fruit isn't ripe yet... On the palate, for me, this is a russetted golden apple... One of those rare cider varieties deep in the orchard... Apple schnapps, dry peach, sage, mineral... Dry in the mouth... Medium acidity... The finish is long and becomes buttery as time passes... This really is outstanding seven years after the vintage. — 3 years ago

This is definitely my favorite seasonal flavor! The hops gave a interesting level that other fruit flavors can't add. So sad it's hard to get or I'd buy this year round — 8 years ago

Over 200 varieties in blend, says the label., 6.8% abv, unfiltered. Website says Dungeness is a single orchard blend. A still cider, little head or bubbles on pour. Light golden brown in color, very good clarity. Baked apple aromas, reminded me of an apple pie or cobbler with cinnamon, but that's my brain searching for cinnamon where there is none. Buttery mouthfeel, malic and citric acidity. Dry and really nuanced flavor profile. Tart malic finish and aftertaste with mild bitterness. No apparent seed tannins or astringency. This is what really fine apple wine tastes like, uncarbonated. A surprisingly unique and pleasurable experience, worth trying once, even if it's not a style for you. Kudos, Alpenfire! — 7 years ago
