John Sweeney, JJ Buckley, May 2011

Dark ruby at the core with a bright ruby rim. On the nose, red raspberry and cassis lead into a touch of scorched earth and toasty oak. The wine is big and bold on the palate with well integrated but chewy tannins, and bright red fruit dominates the flavor profile, while plenty of lively acidity carries through to the finish. Best to age for another 2 years, as this still needs time to fully integrate, it can last easily through 2020.

Wine Enthusiast, September 2010

Lots to admire in this Cab. It's bone dry and rich in blackberry and cedar flavors, with overtones of mocha, anise and toast, and is very tannic. Clearly made in a leaner style than today's high-alcohol cult style, it trades some richness for elegance and finesse. This is a wine that puts its bet on cellaring. Try after 2013. S.H.

About Winery

French born winemaker Bernard Portet and American businessman John Goelet founded Clos Du Val in 1972. After traveling the world for two years in search of wine growing regions of great potential, Portet selected two sites in the Napa Valley-130 acres in the Stags Leap District for growing Bordeaux varietals and 180 acres in the cooler Carneros region to launch Clos Du Val's Pinot Noir and Chardonnay program. Today, winemaker John Clews joins Portet in delivering our classic, elegant style of wines, as Clos Du Val has consistently expressed for more than thirty years.
