In 2010, a skeleton key found on the vineyard estate became the
inspiration behind this label. This wine unlocks the flavors of William
Chris Vineyards and Texas. Stylistically, this wine showcases a
different approach to the traditional William Chris wine.
The Skeleton Key line gives the winemakers the chance to express
themselves creatively using more blending techniques and oak
aging, thus defining an approachable introduction to Texas wine.
