From

Behind every bottle is a vineyard soaked in history. Clos du Val, translated as “small vineyard estate,” carries the legacy of its French roots with pride. Born from the vision of John and Henrietta Goelet, and nurtured by French winemaker Bernard Portet, its story is one of exploration and dreams. Found in the highly prized Stags Leap District, this vintage captures the essence of a land that inspired and revolutionized American winemaking.

Behind the grandeur of Clos du Val’s 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is a fable of craftsmanship and nature’s poetry. Its iconic place in the Stags Leap District offers more than majestic views; it provides a terroir that’s as challenging as it’s rewarding. Each bottle is a tribute to the perfect synergy of Napa’s warm days and cool nights, resulting in grapes that soak up the sun while whispering of cool, misty mornings.

But what makes this wine truly special? Its lineage traces back to the bold Judgment of Paris event, where it held its own against France’s best—only to return, ten years later, to claim the crown with the same elegant sincerity. The 2012 vintage continues this tradition, standing as a testament to nuanced elegance and profound depth.

The 2012 Sensory Symphony

Imagine the tantalizing peel of afternoon bells as you uncork a bottle—deep garnet runs into your glass, hinting at mysteries within. With each sip, you’re invited to enjoy a symphony where vibrant acidity hits the high notes, while a mineral-rich bass line keeps everything grounded.

Clos du Val isn’t just a sip of wine; it’s a marriage of place and time, of tradition and innovation. Perfectly crafted, patiently aged—this bottle promises more than a beverage; it offers an invitation to savor memories and shape new ones.
