When searching for a name to support this wine, it was only fitting to look to the woman who has inspired generations of the Goelet family: their founding matriarch, Henrietta. While she is known by her friends and family as Yetta, her husband, John, lovingly called her Yettalil. Her grace, elegance, and subtle strength make her the perfect namesake for this wine.
ANTONIO GALLONI 94 POINTS - "The 2022 Yettalil, the estate's top wine, is superb. Elegant, silky and refined, this Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend offers lovely balance and plenty of class. This is a fine effort for the year. Pretty floral and spice notes lend nuance to this sophisticated, polished offering"
ROBERT PARKER'S WINE ADVOCATE 93 POINTS - "Sourced from the estate's Hirondelle Vineyard, the 2022 Yettalil Red Wine is a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, 8% Petit Verdot, 6% Malbec, 5% Carménère and 3% Merlot. Aromas of ripe cherries mingle with scents of menthol and hints of pencil shavings on the nose, while this medium to full-bodied wine is supple, even creamy at first, slowly fanning out across the palate and showing a bit more tannic structure before finishing long, mouthwatering and harmonious."
