Outer quote mark Made with a whopping 15 different types of apples, this barrel-aged California brandy has a sweet, fruity scent and sip, drying to an elegant and complex finish with light notes of honey, dried fruit, leather, walnut and allspice. Viscous feel. (KN) Inner quote mark (12/2011)

K&L Notes

From the amazing, boutique, local legend of Osocalis comes their new apple brandy. It immediately jumps right in the field with other top, domestically produced apple brandy contemporaries. Full of pure apple flavor and plenty of kick, this brandy would never be confused for a more delicate Calvados. It's made in a small alembic still and has plenty of muscle to balance out the rich fruit.

Brandy

Country:

United States

- When people consider domestic wine, they normally think about the state of California. The fine viticultural Region within California, including the Napa Valley, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Mountains, Mendocino and Santa Barbara, are capable of growing grapes of world-class quality. But there's plenty of fabulous wine coming from other states, too. Oregon, Washington and New York are also causing eyebrows (and glassware) to be raised around the world.

Sub-Region:

California

- With the explosive growth that California's wine industry has seen the past several years, it's easy to view winemaking and grape growing in the Golden State as a recent phenomenon. And while it's true that California's viticultural history is brief compared to several European countries, this state's roots date back well over 200 years. Due to the enormous response to California wine within the United States and worldwide, there are thousands of excellent and diverse wines being produced within the state each year.

Specific Appellation:

Santa Cruz Mountains

- Vineyards dot the valleys and ridges of this coastal AVA just south of San Francisco. Microclimates make it difficult to generalize, and vineyards are frequently separated by acres of forests and meadowlands (not to mention entire towns!), but this is nonetheless known as a cooler-climate zone ideal for pinot noir. Ridge is doubtless the most famous local producer, with its cabernet blend, Monte Bello, named after a Santa Cruz mountain peak. High-quality, low-production chardonnay and some Rhône varietals prosper as well.
