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

Bogle Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2013
Snoothrank:
woody musty aroma, peppery plum tones, dry. I've experienced better years of this cab from this Vineyard. Read More

Snoothrank:
Big fruit flavor, a touch of spice but not overpowering and so smooth! I prefer white but occasionally drink red and this one is definitely on my short list of tasty reds. Read More

Snoothrank:
A little on the dry side, but I think I might need to give this a second look. More of a cab than a petit sirah...missing blueberries. Heavy blackberry. Read More

David Akiyoshi Petite Sirah Clarksburg 2013
Snoothrank:
A Naked Wines selection -Dark, Dense, and Ink in the Glass. Opens with very ripe peach and sherry, on to a plum and rhubarb reduction/compote, then bright strawberry and cherry with a background scent of musk and earth. Still young, with it seems, plenty of aging potential. Bright Tannins and Acidity, with chocolate, black pepper, and clove, wit... Read More

The Stringer California Chardonnay 2013
Snoothrank:
A Lot 18 quarterly selection. Pear and peach with nutmeg and allspice as it opens. More peach and pear. Fruit forward Chardonnay with minimal oak and very light body and light acidity. Nothing that special, though at the price point would suspect this one compares very favorably with others in this price. Read More

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
