Full of ripe raspberry flavor and aroma, this semi-sweet wine made with 100% Maryland raspberries is a sure hit.
Add it to your BBQ sauce, brownies (replace the water in your brownie mix for quick-and-decadent Raspberry Brownies), or sorbet for a fruit-forward kick.
Pairs with chocolate desserts.

Small batch production year-round, featuring cider fermented on the farm using 100% organic apple juice pressed from Washington apples. We ferment the apple juice in stainless steel tanks, then blend with black currant and unrefined organic cane sugar for additional depth, sweetness, and flavor.
Bright apple fruit balanced by berry complexity; sweet and sour notes, with a light sparkle and purple blush.
Gorgeous in the glass on its own, this sassy cider invites experimentation with cocktails and other recipes. Lovely paired with salads, salmon, fragrant cheeses and other light fare. Or use in a vinaigrette or cooking glaze. Enjoy at a picnic, dinner party, birthday brunch, soiree, campfire, regatta or on the front porch.

Finnriver Spirited Apple Wine

Farmcrafted with over fifty apple varieties, the nuances between each release of Spirited Apple Wine are highlighted through aging and select cidermaker blends, year after year.
We begin by blending high-acid cider, aged between one and three years within Westland Whiskey barrels, with custom-distilled brandy. Distilled from our very own cider, the brandy is sourced from Talking Cedar Distillery in Chehalis, Washington. Barrels from Westland Whiskey impart oak and age, while notes of spice, smoke, and ripe apple linger. Brownish-gold in color, our Spirited Apple Wine sews a cohesive thread between apples, age, and artisanship.
Reminiscent of a fine Calvados or apple whiskey, our Spirited Apple Wine can be sipped on its own or enjoyed as an intentional digestif between meals. Swap it for cognac in a classic Sidecar cocktail for a lower-ABV nightcap with an apple-forward twist.

This great holiday wine is made especially as a table wine for those fabulous Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. The sharp acidity of this 100% cranberry juice is well balanced by its sweetness. Surprisingly, it pairs well with spicy foods, such as chili, but is especially great with those leftover turkey sandwiches.

Our almost world-famous cranberry wine (soooo many awards!) starts sweet but quickly balances out and leaves you with a distinctive tartness. No poultry dinner should be without this great wine.
A light-bodied, tart, fruity, and juicy wine with flavors of fresh cranberries.
