Clos Du Val, French for "small vineyard estate of a small valley," was founded in 1972 in the renowned Stags Leap District. The winery was first recognized for its Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon at the famed Judgment of Paris in 1976, establishing its place as one of Napa Valley's most iconic winery estates. Still family-owned today, Clos Du Val farms 225 acres of estate vineyards in the Stags Leap District and Yountville appellations, and continues to craft wines of balance and complexity, showcasing the fruit from the outstanding terroir on which their estate lies.
ROBERT PARKER'S 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."
