Clos du Val Description
Enjoy a drop of history in your glass. In every vintage since 1972, we have crafted our Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley. More than a wine, it is our story. Even as the aperture widens, we focus on understanding the ground beneath our boots and farming intentionally and harmoniously with nature. Our estate vineyards reach beyond our home in the Stags Leap District, contributing to our Napa Valley bottlings. This wider lens allows us to bring the beauty of blended expressions to a broader range of fresh, elegant, and timeless wines.
Wine Enthusiast: 92 Points
A mix of black fruits spun through with stimulating and flavorful spices fill the mouth with juicy and savory flavors. These are carried by a balance of acidity and fine-grained tannins into a mouthwatering and lengthy finish.
James Suckling: 92 Points
Fresh and nicely framed aromas of red currants, stone and sweet tobacco. Medium-bodied with open-grained tannins and a creamy finish. Crunchy fruit. A blend of 77% cabernet sauvignon, 12% merlot, 5% malbec, 4% cabernet franc and 2% petit verdot. Very drinkable now, but can improve with age.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
One of the more realistically priced Napa Cabs out there, Clos du Val's 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot, 5% Malbec, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Scents of black and red cherries, hints of violets and vanilla mark the nose, while the medium to full-bodied palate is silky and fresh, streamlined and classic in style. It's ready to drink now and should continue to drink well for the next decade.
