In 1861 James Skinner established one of the first wineries in the country, this piece of history was uncovered when his great-great-great grandchildren had a chance encounter while exploring the California Sierra Mountains. So inspired by this unknown heritage the family decided to start their own winemaking adventure in the area. With a focus on Rhone varietlals, Skinner handcrafts each wine with an unerring dedication to blending old-world skills and traditions with innovative farming and winemaking techniques.
Native fermentation in open to vessels, 4 months sur lees in stainless tank. Raspberry, cherry and red plums mingled with rose, dried herbs, and orange peel. Fun, flirty, and mouthwatering.
