I can hardly drink most new world Malbecs these days, whether from Argentina, or CA, so a stop in your tracks wine like this from the boonies of Mendocino is a statement.
I really need to trek to Yorkville more, or join their wine club. This is a gem of a place, making old world Bordeaux wine.
An impressive 13% alc.
Vibrant dark purple color A nose of blackcurrant, blackberry, dark raspberry, granite. In the mouth, the fruit is ripe, balanced, taut, expressive. Black fruit, cassis, spice, black raspberry, mineral undertones.
I might have never become a Rhone guy if Napa had made Bordeaux like this.

Tasting in Anderson Valley; Yorkville Cellars, Breggo Cellars, and Roederer Estate (Yorkville and Anderson Valley, CA): Garnet color with dark cherry, cassis and pomegranate aromas. On the palate, its medium bodied and balanced with cherry, raspberry, and a bit of blueberry flavors. Medium finish. Organic grapes. 13.0% abv
