About this winery

John and Henrietta Goelet founded Clos Du Val in 1972.

Tasting notes

This Cabernet Sauvignon from the Napa Valley is full of the characteristics of this classic grape variety: blackcurrant, bramble and blueberry. It has a beautifully rich and textured taste with creamy notes of butterscotch. Goes very well with lamb kebabs, lamb shank, duck breast with red wine sauce , grilled beef entrecote.
