Very solid Chilean Pinot. Great with a mushroom pizza; just enough acidity to compete with a zippy tomato sauce. — 4 years ago

Solid tempranillo. Great value. An excellent ‘mid week wine’ (not that days of the week mean jack to most people right now). — 5 years ago

Phenomenal. Tasting just the way a 10yr old cider should; complex and rich with a shocking amount of apple character. — 4 years ago

Everything I want in a hopped cider. Such a fan of this producer. I highly recommend a trip to their farm in Jersey. — 5 years ago

Very solid. Great Pinot alternative. Low tannin. I little too much oak on this for its own good, in my opinion. — 5 years ago

Banger. Juicy with just the right amount of tannin to complement the monster fillet I enjoyed this fine evening. 🎄 — 4 years ago

I’m honestly surprised how highly this cider is rated on here. I think it’s fine but it doesn’t hold a candle to the great products that so many small producers are releasing these days. Maybe ten years ago I would be impressed by this but the cider industry has grown in leaps and bounds since then. This product is chaptalized, which for me is a deal breaker to begin with. Christ, the first ingredient is water!?! Beyond that I find the residual sweetness to be excessive; it covers up any subtlety that might exist. I can’t even get through a bottle in one sitting. The aggressive marketing of the product as being ‘organic’ coupled with how little value is clearly placed on flavor profile truly makes this bottle a time capsule, indicative of what consumers responded to a decade ago. — 5 years ago

This is a decent value wine but in no way is it something to write home about; I wouldn’t buy it again. For $3-4 more you could have significantly better Spätlese offerings at your finger tips. The finish is short and lackluster. — 5 years ago
