2008 Oliver's Blend:
Handcrafted by Philippe Melka at the state-of-the-art facility at Vineyard 29, The Oliver's Blend is a true expression of the diversity and power of the Skipstone vineyard. The 2008 vintage reveals a delicate nose of violet, rose petal underlaced with extremely concentrated red fruit of cherry and raspberry. A wonderful and generous mouthfeel creates a sensation of harmony and seduction. The wine expresses complex aromas of chocolate, caramel and maple. This blend overall has great length finishing with velvety texture and powerful oak tannins, the sign of great aging potential.
The Skipstone Estate:
Skipstone is tucked between two stunning hillsides in the mountains above Alexander Valley. the 200 acre estate is CCOF certified organic and features 7 acres of olive groves, 2 acres of culinary gardens and a striking 30 acre amphitheater shaped terraced vineyard. The estate operates through the strict standards of sustainability in every aspect of the business and farming. After realizing the unparalleled potential of the vineyard, renowned Winemaker Philippe Melka has made Skipstone his only project in Alexander Valley in collaboration with Proprietor Fahri Diner. Together they produce less than 500 cases annually from the state.
