Beskrivelse
Opening with complex aromas of blackberry, blue plum, violet, and a hint of fresh herbs, this Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is vibrant and expressive. On the palate, notes of cherry, dark chocolate, cassis, and toasted almonds are intertwined with fresh acidity, supple tannins, and a long, smooth finish.
The 2022 growing season began with below-average rainfall and mild temperatures throughout spring and summer. A significant heat wave hit Napa Valley in early September, followed by a few days of refreshing rainfall that quickly replenished our vines. The fruit was able to slowly mature into late October, producing elegant wines with soft tannins and rich, concentrated flavors.
Founded in 1972, Clos du Val is a third-generation, family-owned winery in the heart of Napa Valley’s Stags Leap District. With a focus on crafting fresh, elegant, and timeless Bordeaux-inspired wines, the core ethos of Clos du Val is the beauty of blended expressions.
