Mule Skinner
Spring Valley Vineyard · Washington State · Rot
This 100% Merlot is named for Fred Corkrum’s job as head Mule Skinner on the Ranch. The label is an actual photo of the mules pulling the combine during the wheat harvest circa 1925. The name Mule Skinner indicates the person who cared for and drove the mules in all aspects of the farming operation before the advent of the Caterpillar tractor. Then, of course, he was called the “CAT skinner.”
