50 years ago, an entrepreneurial American living in France challenged a young French winemaker to travel the globe and find the best vineyard site in the world. After two years of adventures, that winemaker found a little corner of the Napa Valley that would later be known as the Stags Leap District and the home of Clos du Val.
This is the origin story we often share, but as with any story that attempts to condense 50 years into a single paragraph, those who have contributed to Clos du Val in other ways have largely remained just beyond the limelight.
This spring, I am pleased to introduce to you Yettalil, Clos du Val’s new flagship blend and a long overdue tribute to the woman who has given us trusted guidance, insight, and support for over 50 years.
To the world, she is Henrietta Goelet. To me, she is my grandmother, Yetta, and to my grandfather, John, she is affectionately Yettalil. We chose this name to represent the grace, elegance, and finesse we seek to express in every one of our wines, as well as the love my grandparents have shared throughout their life together. When searching for a name for this wine, it was only fitting to look to the woman who has inspired generations of my family to pursue their passions, chasing adventure and embracing the joy of bringing happiness to others. Her personality and grace, still exuberant today in all that she does, make her the perfect namesake for this wine.
Driven by the terroir of our home in the Stags Leap District, we have created Yettalil as a forward-looking expression of our core winemaking philosophy: fresh and seductive aromatics, elegant balance, subtle power, and a layered conversation on the palate that lingers long after the last sip.
This Bordeaux-inspired blend combines Cabernet Sauvignon for structure and power, Merlot for opulence and freshness, and Cabernet Franc for lively finesse. The result is a wine that piques the senses, provoking curiosity for the next sip.
Opening aromas of fresh blackberry, ripe plum, and racy cassis are layered with hints of violet, bay leaf, and thyme. The first sip gives way to a beautifully balanced palate of vibrant acidity, polished tannins, and a plush texture. A core of concentrated black cherry, vanilla, and cedar notes culminates in a long finish of graphite and dark chocolate.
To me, Yettalil is a wine that represents the future of Clos du Val winemaking, and I am excited to share this next chapter with you.
Shipping & Delivery Policy
Shipping & Delivery Policy
Our Shipping & Delivery Policy
Yiannis Wine ships orders through FedEx. The shipping fees vary depending on where in the U.S your shipment is going. For any questions or concerns regarding shipment pricing and restrictions please feel free to contact us directly. We are able to ship to all but the following states: Utah, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Kentucky, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. With some of these states, for example Alabama, we are able to ship to an ABC store nearest to you.
It is rare to have a shipment damaged during shipping, however, in the event you do receive a damaged delivery, please let us know. We will need pictures and proof of damage so that we can resolve your claim. Damaged claims will not be accepted without proof. We will replace the wine or issue a credit. The choice is yours!
Deliveries that contain alcohol REQUIRE AN ADULT SIGNATURE. You must be 21 or older to purchase and accept said deliveries.
We cannot ship to PO Boxes, APO/FPO addresses, or internationally.
Shipping fees are not refundable under any circumstances.
There is an additional charge to re-route orders already in transit.
Some items are removed from original packaging, and placed in protective shipping containers to ensure safe delivery.
While most orders are shipped the day they are placed. The demand for limited supplies will occasionally deplete our stock of a paticular product, in this case it will generally take an additional 1 - 2 business days to receive the product and fufill the order.
Although it is rare, if there was a packing error, we would like to resolve it for you! In the event that we shipped an incorrect item, we may ask you to hold on to those items and the exsisting packaging so that we can arrange for a return pick up. If you find that items are missing from your order, we are happy to assist you in reshipping the missing items or processing a credit for the missing item/items. We will provide a return label for incorrect items and credit will be processd upon the return of the item to the warehouse. Reshipment of the correct items will be at no extra charge.
Occasionally a chosen vintage of a wine may sell out or be replaced by a new release after your order is placed. Bottles of wine that are under $20, will not hold up an order and we will simply automatically substitute the wine with the comparable vintage. Please be assured that we will only substitute with a vintage for the same wine. Wine that is valued more than $20 per bottle, we will attempt to contact the customer. After two attempts, the available vintage will be automatically shipped out. (The return policy of $15 return shipping costs, and 15% restocking fee will be enforced.)
Yiannis Wine will not be held liable for damages to orders due to weather conditions during shipping. Potential exposure to extreme heat or cold may damage items during shipping. As we can not be held responsible for products damaged due to weather, we suggest you choose FedEx Express to ship your items and/or add ice packs to your order (during extreme heat) to help prevent damages. We can also place your orders on weather hold until weather conditions improve. Wine is usually fine if it is exposed to some heat (as that is the way wine is made.....Heated so the yeast is activated). If your wine is warm, please place them in a cool, dark room so the wine can "settle."
Most returns will be accepted, but ALL bottles must be returned to get credit. A half bottle or empty bottle of something that did not taste GOOD is fine to return, but the customer will not receive full credit if the bottle is not included.
Sometimes an order is returned to our warehouse after several delivery attempts at the address provided by the customer. We are happy to reship the order however, reshipment fees will apply. Please contact us and we will assist you with the reshipment arrangements.
We are happy to assist with any returns for items purchased that you no longer want or need. Please let us know and we will arrange for the return and issue a credit or refund for your returned items, less the return shipping and handling charges.
We offer some of the most diverse wines in the business, and we are happy to help you choose wines and provide recommendations by our sommeliers if you desire. Everyone has different tastes and Yiannis Wine will not be held responsible for customer choice. While ratings, testimonials, and reviews may influence your decision, the ultimate judgement is yours.
