Standing apart from the surrounding hills, Red Mountain’s southwest facing slopes encourage the grapes to ripen and develop their deep, dark skin color. t is during the fermentation process that these thick, sun-ripened skins reveal the distinctly lush textures and flavors locked inside. Boutique brand, small production with immense quality. Thick Skinned is a Bordeaux style blend of bold character and represents everything that Red Mountain has to offer. Affordable luxury; the wine overdelivers in the popular Red Blend category.
