Only thing I don’t like is UPS charges an access point fee to drop off five dollars per case I would have it shipped to my apartment but you have to be present to sign for it and UPS is terrible about arranging that

2021 Clos du Val Cabernet Sauvignon (375ml)

Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa, California

B-21 Top Recommendation

“Rich and sumptuous to the core.”

Antonio Galloni, Vinous

An enticing, classically styled Napa Cab from one of the region’s most storied estates, the opulent 94 pt. 2021 Clos du Val Cabernet Sauvignon offers rich, concentrated dark fruit hinting of mocha and spice with smooth, lush tannins, described as “a very easy wine to drink now and over the next decade or so” by Vinous critic Antonio Galloni that’s bargain priced well below neighboring Stags Leap producers to deliver outstanding value.

Located along the Silverado Trail just below Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars and Chimney Rock, founders John and Henrietta Goelet established Clos du Val in the area that would become known as the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley in 1972, purchasing their original 150 acres on the advice Bordeaux-born winemaker Bernard Portet, whose father had been technical director at First Growth Chateau Lafite. First gaining recognition at the famed Judgment of Paris in 1976 that established Napa Valley's reputation as a world-class wine region, the family-owned Clos du Val farms two estate vineyards in the Stags Leap and Yountville appellations planted mainly to Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller parcels of Bordeaux varietals, the estate now run by third generation Olav Goelet who has renewed the estate’s focus on producing Napa Cab. In addition to selling off their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay vineyards and revamping the winery, Goelet hired Carmel Greenberg, formerly an assistant winemaker at Dominus, as head winemaker, crafting 2021 as her first vintage from vine to bottle and “focusing on Cabernet bottlings made in a more restrained style” according to the Wine Spectator’s Bruce Sanderson while returning to the house style of “elegance and freshness.” Sourced mainly from the flagship Hirondelle Vineyard in Stags Leap in a low yielding vintage that produced smaller, concentrated berries, winemaker Greenberg blended 86% Cabernet Sauvignon with 7% Merlot, 5% Malbec, 1% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot in the alluring 2021 Clos du Val Napa Cab, aging it in 30% new French oak to yield layers of seductive, fragrant fruit beautifully balanced by precise acidity and plentiful, velvety tannins, summed up as “fabulous” by Antonio Galloni of Vinous and promising a decade or more of pleasurable drinking ahead.

Described by Jeb Dunnuck as “a terrific value in Napa Cabernet” that “delivers the goods,” the 94 pt. 2021 Clos du Val Cabernet Sauvignon marks the estate’s triumphant return to their roots as Cabernet Sauvignon experts in the Stags Leap District AVA, remaining for now an under the radar bargain for fans and collectors of long-lived, classic Napa Cabs to reap the rewards.

Seductive oak spices and a plush mouthfeel come with abundant red and black fruits in this full-bodied, appropriately tannic wine that needs time to reach its full potential. Pine and rosemary accents merge nicely with the blackberries and blueberries. Best from 2028–2038.

94 points, Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast (Dec 2023)

Spiced and creamy character with ripe dark berries and a chocolate and bark undertone. Lots of cassis and floral notes. Medium- to full-bodied, polished and sleek with chalky texture and hints of graphite at the end. Lingering finish. Better from 2026.

93 points, James Suckling (Dec 2023)

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is fabulous. Rich and sumptuous to the core, the 2021 will be a very easy wine to drink now and over the next decade or so. Succulent dark cherry/plum, spice, rose petal and mocha are all dialed up. Silky tannins wrap it all together in style.

92 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous (Dec 2023)
