Six Grapes Together After More Than 50 Years

The six noble grapes of Bordeaux are together for this first time in many years. Yorkville Cellars (Mendocino County, CA) just announced the release of six varietal wines planted in the same vineyard from the same vintage year (2006). It is believed to be the first time ever that a winery produces bottles of Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Carmenere, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc.
From owner Edward Wallo: “As far as we have been able to determine, Yorkville is the only vineyard where all six of these classic grapes are grown side by side and bottled as individual varietal wines. This allows one to compare the unique qualities of each varietal while not being influenced by different growing conditions, regions, or wine-making techniques.”
