Notes from Yorkville Cellars:

"Each bottle is born from the vineyard, and each bottle has a story to tell. That’s why we are so particular about how we farm and the time of harvest. The grapes must be exceptional yet protected, no amount of knowledge, effort, time or craft will change the climate we farm our grapes. As we get closer to harvest, we have to dance with the climate which sometimes forces us to harvest on particular days over others. This reminds us every year how we are not fully in charge of our most important leader, mother nature, as it is the final say in our wines.

Our vineyards sit in the Yorkville-Highlands AVA, a small region in the southern border of Mendocino and Sonoma County. The climate in our estate vineyards varies to coastal influenced cold, foggy and rainy, while some days are hot, dry and windy. Even with these extremes we take great pride and honor that the wine is made entirely with grapes from our Estate vineyards."
