The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is a fine entry-level offering from Clos du Val. Bright and punchy, with terrific nuance, the Cabernet has a lot to offer. Black cherry, graphite, lavender, licorice and dried herbs are all beautifully delineated. This mid-weight Cabernet Sauvignon captures all the energy of the year. Best of all, it should be a terrific value.
90-92 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous (Dec 2024)
