At the heart of Clos du Val is an epic love story between John and Henrietta Goelet and their shared passion for French wines and global travel. With family ties to one of Bordeaux's premiere wine merchants, Barton & Guestier, John had a vision of producing Cabernet Sauvignon that would rival the world's best.
The site was where Clos du Val was founded in 1972, and to this day, it remains our flagship Hirondelle Vineyard and home to all winemaking activities.
Our inaugural wine, the 1972 Clos du Val Cabernet Sauvignon, was part of the American group that topped French wines in the legendary 1976 Judgment of Paris blind tasting. Ten years later, that same wine took first place in the Judgment of Paris rematch, helping to cement the reputation of Napa Valley as one of the premier winegrowing regions of the world, and catapulting Clos du Val to international recognition.
Enticing aromas of blackberry, plum, and raspberry leap from the glass with underlying notes of caramel, dark chocolate, and rose petal. Fresh and vibrant flavors of cherry, pomegranate, nutmeg, and vanilla are seamlessly integrated with bright acidity, polished tannins, and a long, velvety finish.
Winemakers Notes
2019 Clos Du Val Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
"A sleek, polished style, with cassis and plum notes driving through, carried by a graphite spine and backed by tobacco, briar and savory notes. Drink now through 2030."
