Pear and resin aromas are light. This wine’s palate entry is really neat: you slide effortlessly into green-apple flavors and a nice, viscous texture, which clings through the dusty finish. Nice, unusual and hey, what a bargain.

This Cab feels rustic and dry in the mouth, with tree bark and taut plum flavors. There are also hints of stem and dried spice, making for an outdoorsy impression all around. Chalky, smooth tannins complete the picture.

Apple pastry in a glass, with bready, baked-apple aromas, and clove and mealy apple flavors. Soft and middleweight on the palate, it finishes a little dilute. 500 cases produced.

Dark, almost coffee colored. Smells like ash. Though there are pleasing ginger and root-beer flavors here, it seems past its prime. Drink now.
