Clos du Val Cabernet Sauvignon Oak Vineyard

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. This 100% Cabernet is aged 17 months in French oak , 50% new. Winemaker's comment - With a deep garnet color that darkens to a black core, our flagship estate Sauvignon has aromas of dark fruit, spice, and dried herbs, with some truffle notes. Rich and full bodied with fleshy dark fruit flavors and this classic Clos Du Val wine shows good structure and depth, followed excellent finish. This wine will age very well for at least 10-15 years.
