Skipstone 2007 Oliver's Blend Red (Alexander Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $95
Enormously rich and complex in blackberry tart, black currant, crème de cassis, licorice and bacon flavors. The tannins are strong but very fine, with a velvety texture. Give it 5–6 years to achieve bottle complexity.

Skipstone 2005 Oliver's Blend Red (Alexander Valley)
- Cellar Selection
- $105
Notable for its richness and concentration of fruit, and also for the finesse of the tannin structure. Feels softly lush and luxurious, with potent blackberry and cherry-pie filling, raspberry liqueur, dark chocolate and smoky sandalwood flavors. Needs time to resolve its elements. Give it 5–6 years in a good cellar.

Skipstone 2006 Oliver's Blend Red (Alexander Valley)
- $100
A beautiful wine, lush and appealing and at its best for the next 5–7 years. It’s soft but enormously rich and smooth in tannins, with deep, extracted flavors of cherries, raspberries, red currants, bacon, licorice, cola, dried herbs and sandalwood. Grows smoother and more complex as it warms in the glass.
