Yannick is a rock star! We fell in love with his Colombard, and now his Tannat, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet. Check out these wines!

There's some perception of soil and altitude influence, but too much new oak. Luscious blackberry, mocha, and clove flavors. #volcanicsoilstudy

Not sure why the name, but this Sun King is stylish with great substance.

Nose is filled with ripe black plum, blueberry, cedar, cocoa, baking spices, leather and subtle forest floor. The palate is rich and gentle, layered with flavors that echo the nose. Delicious silky tannins.

Will continue to improve over the next 5 years or so.

2014 vintage from the Nosotros vineyard fruit. Very small production. Excellent vintage. All the hallmarks of Mt Veeder. Floral notes, blue and blackberry aromas. Full palate pleasure. Length. Fantastic!!

Really bold, amazing red and black fruit flavors, with a bit of acidity.
