About this winery

John and Henrietta Goelet founded Clos Du Val in 1972. A descendant of Bordeaux's famed wine merchant, Barton & Guestier, John had a vision of producing Cabernet Sauvignon that would rival the world’s best. French trained winemaker Bernard Portet was selected to head the search for the perfect property from which to produce these wines. In 1972, two years and five continents later, a parcel in what would become the Stags Leap District in the Napa Valley was chosen to fulfill this lofty dream....

Production notes

Aged for 9 months in oak barrels, 30% of which are new French oak.

Tasting notes

Lively aromas of cotton, vanilla and jasmine flower. On the palate, a nice smooth roundness, a balanced acidity and a fresh finish on green apple. Accompanies very well a veal shank in white wine, garlic & balsamic pork chops, veal cutlets with lemon, capers and cream, fettucinis alfredo, fillet of cod charbonnière with miso.
