Clos Du Val Cabernet Sauvignon Estate 2016

Clos Du Val, French for “small vineyard estate of a small valley,” was founded in 1972, an era that wine writer Hugh Johnson referred to as “the turning point in modern wine history.”

92 Points - Jeb Dunnuck    The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate (77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Cabernet Franc, 7% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot) is a rocking Cabernet that should be snatched up by those looking for a terrific value in Napa Cabernet. Blue fruits, sappy herbs, some damp earth and a touch of mint all emerge from this charming, medium to full-bodied, fruit-loaded effort that delivers the goods.

92 Points - James Suckling    Meaty aromas across ripe blackcurrants, blueberries and gently tarry notes. The palate has a strong core of smoothly grippy tannins and abundant blackcurrants.
