Clos du Val Wine Co.
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
On the onset drinks in every way like a sturdy and complex medoc, but finishes with leathery plum fruit of SLD and not smoky cassis of Paulliac. Structured and well balanced overall. Arguably some green fruit present. Great buy at $24 (better than Artemis).

Jan 9th, 2016My god, this was so juicy and delicious!!! The tannins were so silky, didn't even feel like they were there, and the black fruit coming off this wine was seriously beyond ripe and juicy! I wish I had cases of this, I bought in 2012, kept till now. So worth the wait! #closduval #napa #wine #napavalley #cabernetsauvignon #1 #perfect #bigandbold #bigjuice

Jul 20th, 2015We we're just going to have a half bottle but, what a surprise, ended up with a second. A pleasant quaff.

Jan 1st, 2015Delish Napa cab. Not over extracted, dark and red fruit, cinnamon, a little vanilla and some cherry leather. Opens up nicely in the glass. Palate is rich fruit, well integrated tannin.

Jul 23rd, 2014Dark fruit, tobacco and a hint of green pepper. Moderate tannins give this wine texture. Not too heavy, not too ripe...just right. Yum!

Jun 17th, 2014A Sommelier told me that the winemaker behind Heritance is the winemaker for this wine. Goes to show that he started his own label so he can get out of making this wine. Under-ripe grapes, too acidic, rough texture, no finish. Seen the brand but Never bought it, I wish I could get a refund. :)
