2010 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Silver Beverage Testing Institute 4.1 Clear. Aromas and flavors of green apple candy with a tannic, sweet light body and a gritty, chalk and apple gum and granita finish. Bomb-able. 2006 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Bronze Wine Enthusiast Magazine 4.5 A solidly good, tart and real apple bouquet. The palate entry is astringent, cleansing and delectably sweet and sour; the midpalate stage is nicely acidic, crisply apple-like and engaging. Finishes pure, briskly tart and just a touch ripe and sweet. 2005 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Bronze 2009 San Francisco World Spirits Competition Silver
