We are offering frozen cider apple juice pails! This pail is comprised of juice from heirloom apples that were specifically grown for making hard cider.
Expected flavors: intensely crisp apple, Meyer lemon, tart berry, pineapple and white flowers, with a subtle honeysuckle note and a long, mouthwatering finish.
Wickson is naturally high in both sugar and acidity, so the 2026 Willamette Valley blend should be bright, aromatic and concentrated—not merely sour. Comparable Wickson ciders are described as very tart, fruit-forward and faintly floral. Since the 2026 fruit hasn’t been finished into cider yet, these are projected rather than final tasting notes.
Cider apples have elevated levels levels of tannin, acid, and sugar compared to grocery store apples and juice. So just like wine made from grocery store grapes is mediocre, cider made from grocery store apples or Motts juice is just not very good.
