The drier climate of the Pajaro Valley in Santa Cruz County leads to the concentration of aromatics lending intense, rich notes of Melon, Lemon and Lime. On the palate the mouthfeel is full, yet crisp, likely due to the cool marine air that flows through the valley at night. Rich flavors of caramelized honey, peppercorns and brandy from extended aging in barrel provide a warm finish to this bone dry cider.
