Fenaughty Vineyard is an essential component to our Grenache program at Skinner. Perched on an idyllic hillside at 2900’ in the Camino-Fruitridge agricultural district, these 40-year-old vines produce a wine that is distinctively complex. Deep-rooted, sustainably-farmed vines planted in vivid red Aiken Clay-Loam make for unabashed expression of this terroir we so dearly love.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The Fenaughty Grenache’s defining feature is this wild combination of delicate flavors and intense structure, creating remarkable tension on the palate. Aromas of fresh raspberry, mandarin peel, miso and desert sage work in tandem to boast a swirling, heady bouquet. Full of citrus and berry on entry, winding along the palate with brown sugar and savory herbs, becoming increasingly sturdy in structure. This wine shows promise to be cellar-worthy for the long haul.
