Red Branch Cider & Brewing Company

Domaine Le Colombier

Vieilles Vignes Vacqueyras Grenache Mourvédre Blend 2012

Goats tromping around a tree nut farm. A funky nose..

Blueberry branch, cherry pit, initial flavors evolve into Spanish olive oil, Greek oregano, roasted plum, that blends well with the woody electric kool aid acid test.

Could evolve for another 5 easy..

Créme de Pinot Noir 2013

Interesting natural wine (in a good way...). Cider like hue. — 8 years ago

Jean-Marc Vincent

Le Beaurepaire Santenay 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2012

Blanc not Noir. Apple, ripe pear, rolling in my mouth, smooth with a touch of tartness in the finish. Lawn clippings under a shade tree. A plump bird sings on the branch. — 9 years ago

Zentner Vineyard Charbono 2012

Baked cherry pie, cranberries, sour cherries, smoke. A bit fruit forward but bright tangy acidity balances the palate. Good with anything tomato & basil. — 9 years ago

Bodegas Atalaya

La Atalaya Almansa Grenache Monastrell 2008

Had this over a couple days with both being similar. The nose was olive branch and musty old trunk followed by a big berry. Earthy taste with notes of tobacco and surprisingly jammy. A little grit at the end but not more than tolerable. A bottle worth taking your time with. — 9 years ago

Moutard Pere et Fils

Cuvée des 6 Cépages Brut Champagne 2004

Dark color that is reflected in the nose and on the palate. The aromas of dried lemon and lemon sourdough predominate, but there is also a snippet of lemon verbena and jackfruit, dried apricots, pumpkin, dried mango, dried papaya and a Flemish red beer streak! The lemon and beer notes are evocative of a brew room after cleanup, but a honey note in a spring grove plants you firmly outside. Plenty of sunshine here, and tangerines in a basket with fresh bread. Medium to heavy mouthfeel, and blood orange, grapefruit, lemon drops, grapefruit pith, limestone and a dried grass and chalky lemon pith finish that is exemplary. A writhing, evolving spectacle that boasts the intermittent Apple cider vinegar whisper without offense. Tannins abound, along with lemoncello custard. — 10 years ago

Are you talking about the cider or me? You've encouraged me to have "Cider Sunday."

My Arrow and Branch cherry was broken last week with a very nice one. I think my impression was that those wines are probably all a little locked up!

101 Cider House

Cactus Red Apple Cider

I'm not sure the world of fine beverages is ready for this but this is one of the most interesting culinary creations I have come across this year. This is absolutely a 'have this with food' drink. So refreshing. Such good value and culinary creativity on display. — 9 years ago

Texas Tannat 2010

2010 vintage that is drinking really well. Dark fruit, leather, pepper with the robust tannic finish you expect from Tannat. Proof this varietal is a hit in Texas and that you shouldn't be afraid to try a lone star state bottle — 9 years ago

Argus Cidery

Lady Goldsmith Sparkling Hard Cider

Celebrating four years of marriage. Bottled the week of our wedding. Perhaps we have held up better that the cider, but it's tasty. Heavy oak has integrated, sharp edges from a year or two ago have simmered. Nearly uncarbonated, tasty. — 9 years ago

"La Cueille" Bugey-Cerdon Sparkling Gamay Poulsard

This is a polarizing wine (my wife says it's "Apple cider-ish"), but I love it. Sweet and tart and fizzy, with just enough complexity to make me keep sipping. — 9 years ago

Our bargain comparison to Gertrude is a Cabernet/Sangiovese blend. Has an almost cider spice to it. Plummy, a little more jammy than the other Tuscan reds. — 12 years ago
