Malbec

Rather like Carmenere, this red grape variety from South-West France is now arguably performing much more effectively in its new location of Argentina rather than its homeland of Cahors. Good Argentinian Malbec often has a smokey, meaty edge and black damson fruit.

Yorkville Cellars is located in Mendocino County, just 100 miles north of the Golden Gate Bridge. The vineyards are on average 1000 feet above sea level, surrounded by other vineyards, sheep ranches and apple and peach orchards. At the bottom of the vineyard is a redwood forest which yields to the spectacular Mendocino coastline. The winery is quite small and produces fewer than 1000 cases of each varietal. No pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers are used in the production of Yorkville Cellars wines; the winery has been certified organic since 1986.
