Barrel and Botanical 2020

This cider is a blend of heirloom and cider apples from Sonoma county, which we fermented in stainless steel and then barrel aged. It presented a beautiful minerality that complimented herbs so well we decided to add some. We were inspired by native sages one day on a hike and after smelling them all we decided to infuse the cider with mint, cardamom, coriander, bay leaf, and juniper berries. Think of it like a cider getting together with a barrel-aged gin. Sca-rumptious.
