Yorkville Cellars
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yorkville Cellars is a family owned winery in Mendocino County, California, which grows all seven Bordeaux varietals from its vineyards, which have been certified organic since 1986. Using these grapes it produces nine different kinds of wine. These are Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Sauvignon Blanc, and Semillon.
The two whites, Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon, are blended to make Eleanor of Aquitaine, and the five reds, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Petit Verdot, are blended to make Richard the Lionheart. These blends are named after the King and Queen of England in the 1100s.
