The Yorkville Highlands viticultural area lies generally along the headwaters of Dry Creek and Rancheria Creek. The vineyards in the Yorkville Highlands area are almost entirely above 800 feet in elevation. The area is a continuous string of high benches and land troughs bordered by even higher ridges with Highway 128 running the middle.

Review

Often overlooked, Cabernet Franc deserves more attention than it gets. Yorkville’s take on the varietal has an alluring nose of black cherry, plum, coffee, and floral notes. Flavors of musty strawberry and black cherry fuse with hints of earth and spicy peppers. Graceful and smooth, it’s a very food friendly wine. Enjoy a bottle with turkey burgers or pork chops, and become a fan.
