Skipstone 'Preface' - 2017

Preface is the 'Second Wine' from Skipstone in Alexander Valley. It's a classic-style California wine with excellent acidity and tannins, perfectly balanced. Crafted by Phillipe Melka, the 2017 vintage consists of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Merlot, and 4% Cabernet Franc, offering a refined and delicious taste.

To enjoy this wine, first, let it breathe for about 30 minutes to an hour to open up its flavors. Serve it at a temperature of around 60 - 65°F. It pairs well with red meats, like steak or lamb, and hard cheeses. Keep the wine in a cool, dark place when storing. Avoid sudden temperature changes and direct sunlight, as these can affect the quality of the wine. When you're ready to drink, pour it gently into a wine glass to savor its aroma and taste.
