Carménere – One of the Original Bordeaux varietals.  Many of the vines were devastated by Phylloxera in the 1800’s.  Meanwhile, some planting stock had been transported to Chile and were grown as Merlot for decades.  In the 1990’s, someone familiar with Carménere brought back samples for DNA analysis and those vines were found to be Carménere.  Almost all of the Carménere wines today are made in Chile.  Sierra Peaks Winery boasts some of the first plantings of Carménere in California.
Awards:  The 2017 Estate Bottled Carménere won silver (88 points) at the California State Fair Wine Competition.

Aglianico – The Aglianico grape originates from southern Italy.
Awards:  The 2018 Estate Bottled Aglianico won silver (88 points) at the California State Fair Wine Competition.

As of the 2010 census, the CDP had a total population of 3,162, up from 2,691 at the 2000 census. Yokuts Valley is located 30 miles east of Fresno.
