Pulido-Walker was founded by Mark Pulido and Donna Walker, a couple who both had careers in the pharmaceutical industry before devoting most of their time to their Mr. Veeder wine venture. One sign of their commitment to winemaking is that they have hired Thomas Rivers Brown as their winemaker. Brown is one of Napa’s most acclaimed, and busiest, winemakers. Their debut releases were two 2010 single vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons. The 11.5-acre estate vineyard is in the Mt. Veeder appellation. Grapes also are sourced from Panek and Melanson Vineyards, both in St. Helena. Wines are generally available only through the estate’s mailing list. Robert M. Parker Jr. has called Pulido-Walker Cabs “super-impressive wines.”
