Apples and grapes make for a perfect couple. This cider borrows the soft structure of oaked-cider and enlivens it with the color and brightness that can only come from some time spent on Syrah and Zinfandel grape skins.

Bottle from the cider club. Yeasty bottle neck & a little bit of a bottle bomb. Never had that outside of French cider. Pint glass @ home. Peachy opaque pour, big head. Smells of twangy, earthy, fermenting apples, rose wine, mulch, lots of yeasties. Taste is nearly dry, soft minerals rose with a moderate apple sourness. Clay, tannic skin, very thin, moreso dry on the finish. Carbonation could be better, alcohol is very low. Smells of second runnings, but still solid. I thought this was better when fresh & was prepared to give it a plumper rating.
