Yorkville Cellars still manages to fly under the radar while making some of the best wine in Mendocino County. Located just south of Anderson Valley on Highway 128, the Rennie Vineyard sits in a microclimate that is well suited to Bordeaux varieties. This bottle is quite refined, showing a real elegance even at its young age. Blackberry, currants, dried herbs and soft brown spice get the cool climate acidity expression here, and it’s beautifully knit together. Time for a visit! Contains 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 6% Malbec, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot and 2% Carménère. A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 San Diego International Wine & Spirits Challenge.
