$39.00 2009 MERLOT Pépé - SONOMA VALLEY, CAVEDALE VINEYARDS

This wine is named after Yannick's grandfather, Pépé, because Merlot is his favorite wine. He used to make it in his garage and share it with all the family. Our Merlot is from the organically farmed Cavedale Vineyards located on the western slopes of Mount Veeder. It's a racy mountain wine with aromas of blueberries, blackberries and sweet spices. It has a bold structure and lingering velvety finish. A stand alone Merlot! It shows a French influence in its Bordeaux-like earthiness and delicacy.

$18.00 2010 Old Vines COLOMBARD - RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY

The Renaissance of Colombard!

Colombard is a variety originally from the South-West of France where it has been grown for hundreds of years. Yannick made his first Colombard in 1996 in the heart of Gascony. The grapes for Y Rousseau Old Vines Colombard come from the last Colombard vines planted in the Russian River Valley. Yannick chose to make this wine because of its unique character and to bring a slice of Gascony to American wine lovers.
"Yannick decided, after finding a grape variety that he loves, that he simply had to make the wine. His Colombard is one of the finest white wines I have ever tasted." Dan Berger.

$65.00 2008 CABERNET SAUVIGNON Le Roi Soleil - MOUNT VEEDER, NAPA VALLEY

Our first release of Cabernet Sauvignon from Mount Veeder is phenomenal! The black fruit is bright, caresses the mid-palate, and stays around for the finish. The defining characteristic of this wine is its brilliant structure. Chewy and refined, the tannins are more than apparent, yet welcoming in their subtlety. Le Roi Soleil simply seems to have it all at this juncture.
