This highly acclaimed Cider comes from a small upstate New York winery, which is not surprising as I noticed both the smell and taste is close to a white wine right off the bat. The first smell was very tarty and as I poured it, I noticed how green/yellow it was. Very little fizz at the first pour with the head disappearing rather quickly.
The tart has a big bite at first, bigger than I prefer. This is a cider you would drink like a wine, slowly and enjoy it. For me, it is not smooth enough for a casual drink. Not something to drink in a bar or while hanging out with friends, but rather at a nice meal with good food that mixes with it. The apple flavor slowly follows in the after taste

I want to try they're Pear Cider, maybe I'll like it more than the apple. One neat thing is the cool art they have available. I see several posters I want hanging on my walls. I just wish I would like the Cider more.
I purchased my 6 pack at the BevMo in Irvine, CA for $7.00
12oz. Bottle, 6% alc./vol
I give this Cider a 3 out of 5 Apples.
