"...everyone who tasted this wine was very excited about the joy of its sensual profile as well as its aging potential. On the palate, the wine is ample and mouthfilling, packed with pure, fresh, floral fruits - yet suggesting a little exotic spice, too. The soft yet ample tannins are evident, both lending the wine seriousness and food-friendliness, yet also ensuring that it will endure well in time."
 
Winemaker Notes
The fullest expression of our Hirondelle Estate vineyard in the renowned Stags Leap District, this wine opens with fresh aromas of black cherry, cassis, fresh thyme, and spice. On the palate, lively acidity and polished tannins are joined by complex notes of dark chocolate, black tea, raspberry, and sweet tobacco.
Named after Henrietta Goelet, the founding matriarch of Clos du Val, affectionately known as “Yettalil.”
