The Yorkville Highlands AVA is Mendocino's mountainous gateway from its warm interior to the more coastal influences of Anderson Valley. Halcon Vineyard is planted at the apex of this appellation on mica-schist and fractured quartz soils, perfect for Syrah. Wilde Farm produces a compelling example from here and it should come as no surprise, since Pax Mahle is essentially California's Syrah maestro.
Wilde Farm was a place long before it was a wine. Built in 1907 on the estate of Samuel Wilde, a successful coffee and spice trader, Wilde Farm began as a horse farm, with a generous kitchen garden of vegetables and herbs. Much like its eponymous wine, the house was expertly crafted of honest materials and made to age gracefully. About twenty years ago, Wilde Farm proprietors, Loren and Amy Grossman, took over custody of Wilde Farm. There they raised three beautiful boys, in the only home they have ever known.
