Bottle from their cider club. A couple months settling, a couple more weeks in the fridge. Low-ball glass @home. Clear, purple on ruby color in bottle, pours more like a muddled sunset cocktail of red grapefruit & grape juice. Deep concord grape scent. Bubblegum, tart apples, licorice-y Thai basil. Tart Sidra, heavy on the fleshy, dark grapes. Beaujolais fruitiness, mild open-air funk. Lime juice sourness. Not much actual sweetness. Herbs are lost to me mostly, that's fine. Spotty, very low, weak carbonation. Would have appreciated more bubbles. Textured, settled but unfiltered. Warming alcohol that's unoffensive. Fun. Reminded me of Enlightenment Wines Dagger mead.
