Clos du Val Wine Co.
Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
It's time for my #FridayCabernetfix. Here is a delicious one.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim. Not showing age at all.
Fruity nose of blackberries, sweet cherries, cooked strawberries, spices, cedar, vanilla, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, light vegetables, pencil lead, peppercorn, leather and coffee.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and very fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, cedar, earth, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, mocha, coke, peppercorn, pencil lead and dark coffee.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Showing nice complexity with a nice mouthfeel.
Good right out of the bottle, and better with airtime.
This 6 years old is still young, but already enjoyable. Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 10 years.
This is from a great vintage and it is showing beautifully right now.
Nicely balanced and fruit forward.
Loved the nose once it opens up.
Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, so be patient.
Robert Parker 90 points.
Thanks Elvira and David for sharing this with me.
Tasty and spicy. Delicious, rich and opulent.
A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc. Aged in French oak barrels (66% new).
14.7% alcohol by volume.
93 points.
$50.

Dusty, dry, chewy. Red fruit makes it taste a little brighter. Would like to try this in 10-15.

Dark ruby color. Hints of currant, blackberry and rhubarb on the nose. Smooth, delightful finish.
