Finnriver Cider - Garryana Oak Aged Pommeau (500 mL)

Finnriver Farm & Cidery (Chimacum, Washington State)

Finnriver Farm & Cidery's Garryana Aged Pommeau is a very limited, small batch release of Pommeau. The juice blended into this pommeau comes 100% from Kingston Black apples, making for a rare single-varietal pommeau. The juice is lightly fermented, blended with apple brandy, and then aged in Garryana oak barrels. Garryana is an increasingly popular oak barrel amongst spirit producers on the West Coast, especially in the Pacific Northwest where the Garry Oak trees are native. 

Over time, the oak imparts a tawny warmth with notes of dried fig, cranberry, and dates. Together, heirloom apples and native oak express the terroir of this valley—honoring the indigenous trees that stood long before the orchards.

Enjoyed best in singularity. Revisit alongside pairings that complement an aged tawny port, such as salty meats and hard cheeses

About Pommeau: French-style apple ‘mistelle,’ a blend of fresh juice (called ‘must’) and brandy. Historically, in western France, fresh apple juice was blended with cider brandy to preserve the flavors throughout the year. This operation, known as ‘mutage,’ was done quietly on the family farm and, for centuries, the method was a closely guarded secret. The result became the local apĂ©ritif, called Pommeau - from ‘pomme,’ meaning apple. A fine Pommeau blends strength, sweetness and delicacy.

  • Send a digital gift message with your order. Look for the "Add a Gift Message" button above, or in your cart. Perfect if you're short on time or are unable to deliver your gift yourself, we'll send a personal gift note for you! Please note all shipments require someone 21+ be available at delivery, so it's best to send the gift note immediately before they receive tracking information (please select Send Now option for digital gift messages).
  • If you'd prefer we add a hand written gift note on a nice artistic Apple Greeting card, add one of these to your order. 

If you're looking for a full case of this or any other cider, please e-mail us and we'll setup a special order for you. We can usually get more of any cider we feature in our shop, and offer a discount on full-case special orders. Most bottled ciders come in 12-bottle cases, and canned ciders come in 24-can cases. Some rare or limited ciders may not be eligible for a case order discount, but we can still get you a full case. 

We ship cider in boxes that safely hold 4-bottles, 6-bottles, or 12-bottles. Order in one of those quantities (or multiples of those quantities) to maximize your shipping value. For example, if you order 2-3 ciders, there will be room left in the box and it won't meaningfully change the shipping costs to fill the box. 

We do have 1-bottle boxes, but in most all instances it will cost the same to ship you a full 4-bottle box.

Shipping to a business address will usually save you a few bucks! 

Shipping cost estimates: 

  • Pacific Northwest/West Coast: Shipping anywhere in the Pacific Northwest or West Coast is relatively inexpensive. Almost all box sizes cost $16-21 to ship. Same is true for most destinations in the Mountain Time Zone. 
  • Central Standard Time Zone / Midwest: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $18-24 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $22-30 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is. 
  • East Coast: A 4-bottle or 6-bottle box will usually cost $20-25 to ship. A 12-bottle box will usually cost $25-35 to ship. Variance depends on weight and how far from a FedEx/UPS shipping center your delivery address is.

  • We are able to ship cider to most, but not all, states.
  • Legally, someone 21+ must be present at the time of delivery to sign for the cider. We cannot ship to PO Boxes or AFO/FPO addresses. 
  • Shipping prices vary by weight and destination. How far you are from Seattle (where we ship from), and remote vs. central your shipping destination is, and how heavy your box is will make shipping vary. 
  • The bigger the box, the less you pay in shipping on a per-bottle basis. We ship in 1, 4, 6, and 12 bottle boxes - order in those quantities for the best shipping value. The size of the box matters as much as the weight, so don't leave empty slots in your bottle box! Shipping 1-2 bottles will cost the same as shipping 4-6 bottles in most cases. Shipping a 12-bottle box is usually only $3-5 more than shipping a 4-6 bottle box. 
  • Re-delivery and returns are the responsibility of the customer.
  • We don't recommend shipping during periods of extreme weather. If your area has weather of concern, please contact us and we can hold your order. 

We can usually accommodate rush requests for delivery or pickup. Please e-mail us at cider@pressthenpress.com or call/text us at (206)395-4008.

We offer home delivery of cider orders for customers in the Seattle area, including the east-side. Someone 21+ must be available to accept the delivery. We will be flexible in scheduling a delivery that works for you. Most deliveries are made within a few days of the order being placed.
