2016 Ski King, California

Skiing is a treasured pastime for my family. My dad and his friend Craig were the ultimate ski buddies. At the top of the mountain, Craig would shout, “Is you ready Ski King?!” My dad would holler, “Let it happ’n Cap’n!” Then we would launch down the mountain. We like to ski with a picnic lunch in our backpacks which includes a good bottle of red wine. Hug your friends, hug your loved ones, and share a good bottle of wine and some great memories. This wine is a good reminder of Dad’s mantra, “never underestimate the value of a little fun.” Aged for three years in tight grain French and American oak, this wine exudes notes of blackberry jam, black cherry, chocolate truffle, anise, sage, and teriyaki, plum, and orange zest.
