Yorkville Cellars
California, the most populous state of the United States, located on the Pacific coast of North America is bordered by Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and Mexico. The four largest cities are Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose and San Francisco. California is also the home of and wine producing regions such as Santa Barbara and Northern California's Wine Country.
Yorkville Cellars was established in 1994 and is located in Mendocino County, 100 miles north of the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge. The vineyard is 1,000 feet above sea level, where sun-filled days and cool nights, tempered by coastal fogs, combine to produce premium quality grapes. Intuitively convinced that such a place would foster complex and richly favored grapes, they bought a 110 acre ranch in the town of Yorkville. There were already a few acres of neglected Sauvignon Blanc but the quality of the small amount of fruit that these vines yielded was encouraging.
Yorkville Cellar’s all wines made from certified organic estate grapes, less than 1,000 cases of each wine are hand crafted each vintage includes Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Richard the Lion heart, Eleanor Of Aquitain their wines are in limited geographic distribution. The demand for their wines continues to grow and given that they typically handcraft less than 1,000 cases of each of the nine wines they make, demand will again exceed supply this year.
The goal of Yorkville Winery‘s winemaking program is to create wines of uncompromising quality with optimum flavor and aromatic components that reflect the unique characteristics of the vineyards from which they come.
