Grape Pie – Preferred Gardens, CA, Spring 2023
92 out of 100 points
Spring 2023
Price: $37/eighth
California-based Preferred Gardens has built its reputation on high-quality, affordable flowers, and their take on Seed Junky’s Grape Cake (Grape Stomper x Cherry Pie x Wedding Cake) is an example of the quality of their work. The majority of the weight in this jar was supported by a huge bud, completely coated in a dense layer of cream-colored trichomes that obscured the forest green and eggplant calyxes beneath.
When opened, the nose is filled with the scent of sweet grapes with a floral, cherry-like undertone. The nose transfers well to the smoke, while the exhale creates a rich, sweet and musty grape that lingers on the tongue for a moment. It’s a deliciously heavy indica hybrid smoke that makes a great nightcap – its powerful sedative properties will have you going to bed in no time.
