Clos du Val Zinfandel

Notes - 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 Stag’s 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. 100% Zinfandel, 12 months in oak. Clos Du Val’s Zinfandel displays a deep ruby color with a purple tinge. Aromas of spice, pepper and clove, balanced with red fruits and cherry, permeate the nose. This Zinfandel is a rich wine that reveals flavors of concentrated cherry and spice with a sweet center and soft tannins.
