BERRYLAND CABERNET FRANC APPLE CIDER BRUT 2020- REVIEW
Berryland Cabernet Franc Apple Cider Brut 2020
Source: Cider Review
On the nose: Blackberry and apple jam in a glass! Nice tartness-depth balance from the Cab Franc. Black cherries, freshly-crushed black grape skins, a smoky herbiness in the background. The apple is definitely second fiddle, but it’s there providing ballast. I really like this nose – joyful stuff.
In the mouth: Brambly fruit and brambly bushes. More of that smoky herbaceousness and apple-and-blackberry jam. Despite its depth it doesn’t lose vibrancy and energy and verve, aided by fresh acidity and a joyful, frothy mousse. This drink makes me smile. Summer fruit, sitting in the garden with the smell of grass and fern around you.
