Founder and President, Matthew Cain launched Yellow+Blue wines in 2008 to produce consumer-friendly high-quality, organic wines. Matthew works closely with each property to ensure that each wine meets Yellow+Blue’s strict standards. The portfolio includes a Monastrell from Spain, a Malbec from Argentina, a Sauvignon Blanc from Mendocino County, California and a Torrontes from Cafayete in Argentina, all of which are made from 100% organic grapes. The newest addition to the portfolio, the Select Red blend from Santa Barbara, California is certified sustainable. Each wine is shipped directly from the source in insulated steel tanks to Yellow+Blue's facility in North America where it is packaged in environmentally friendly Tetra-Paks. Consequently, Yellow+Blue's carbon footprint is half the size (54%) of the traditional bottling method. The Yellow+Blue organic certification encompasses the entire growing, harvesting, vinification and packaging process. The result is a pure, terroir driven wine with no pesticides or synthetic fertilizers to disguise the varietal's natural taste profile.

Tasting notes

This earthy and full-bodied red shows nicely layered blackberry, dark cherry, plum and licorice notes wrapped around juicy tannins with a slight hint of grilled meats and underbrush.
