Kyle Knox, a good friend of mine and professional surfer who I shoot and travel with, has collaborated with the Hill Family Estate winery, located in Napa, to produce a wine appropriately named The Barrel Blend. I was asked if I could contribute a photograph for the label, which, being a wine lover myself, I was more than happy to do. The wine is a blend of 56% Merlot, 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Syrah and really is outstanding. My wife and I had the recent opportunity to enjoy a bottle with a couple of flat iron steaks and we were both blown away. Unfortunately, the wine isn’t available for retail purchase just yet, but I have been told it will be soon. As soon as I have a when and a where, I will update the details here. Salute!
