Skinner Vineyards- 'Native Red'- Red Blend

This 2020 red blend hails from El Dorado, California. Skinner Winery has a rich history that goes back to 1860. During the Gold Rush, James Skinner moved his family to California and bought land, naming it Skinner Ranch, which later became one of California's first commercial vineyards. By 1883, J. Skinner Native Wine & Brandy Co. was among the largest commercial vineyards in the state and continued operating into the early 20th century. In 2007, Skinner Vineyards was revitalized and has been flourishing ever since. This red blend is crafted from 11 varietals, highlighting the unique terroir of the region. It offers tasting notes of tart cherry, dried herbs, and orange peel. Best served slightly chilled, it's perfect for relaxing on the porch.

To enjoy this Skinner Vineyards red blend, first, take it out of storage and let it sit for a bit to reach a slight chill. You can serve it in a regular wine glass. As you sip, savor the tart cherry, dried herbs, and orange peel flavors. When it comes to food pairing, it goes great with a laid - back evening on the porch. Just make sure to store it in a cool, dark place to keep its quality. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can affect the taste. There's no special maintenance needed, just keep it stored properly and enjoy it at your leisure.
