for this region?
Yolo County is an emerging wine region within the Central Valley district of California. The Sacramento River Delta provides a channel for cooling winds, making it the coolest region in Central Valley. It’s further divided into subregions, and the majority of the vineyards are located in the ones closest to the delta to the east, within the Clarksburg and Merritt Island AVA’s. But pioneering winemakers, such as John and Lane Giguiere, who founded R.H. Phillips winery, promote the warm weather conditions in the Dunnigan Hills and Capay Valley.
The warm weather climate is most conducive to varietals such as Syrah, Merlot, Zinfandel, Petite Syrah, Tempranillo. White grapes grown are Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Chenin Blanc. ~Amanda Schuster

April 2015
David Akiyoshi Cabernet Sauvignon Clarksburg California 2013
Snoothrank:
A Naked Wines offering. Opens with spice and herbs and becomes more toffee, pear, and licorice. Soft and balanced and for a Cabernet with more fruit than oak - definitely not an 'Oak Monster'. As it opens more, bits of green chile and shortbread and a very interesting hint of pine. Feels more Old World to me, nuanced, but still young. Will want ... Read More

Bogle Merlot California 2013
Snoothrank:
I liked it more than some of the other reviews on this site. Young and snappy, showing multiple fruit notes and soft, rounded tannins.93pts (because of the price -$9.00!) Read More

Ripe pear with floral notes on the nose. Nice acidity and ripe fruit sweetness with a clean soft finish. Paired well with the spice meatballs my daughter brought for Christmas. Read More

Bogle Merlot California 2012
Snoothrank:
2012 vintage Bogle Merlot. Pleasant cherry nose. Overpowering acid on the palate. Seems a bit viney tannins as if they included the hard press into the wine.I much prefer the smoothness of a Maggio Family Vineyards Lodi Merlot. Read More

Essential Red Bogle Vineyards 2011
Snoothrank:
Smokey and weedy with a coffee/over-steeped tea quality on the nose. Easy drinking and attractively bright in the mouth with some black plum skin and candied raspberry flavors immersed in cocoa and mocha flavors on the palate. Theres a whisper of tannin here that adds some textural contrast to the bright mouthfeel. In the end though this feels a... Read More

Matchbook Old Head Chardonnay 2012
Snoothrank:
Kind of flat and flabby. There's oak and lemon cream on the nose and the palate. Not a whole lot of acidity or depth just the oak and not much else. Read More
