CLOS DU VAL Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley 2011

This wine is an interesting blend of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 7% Cabernet Franc, 2.5% Petit Verdot, 2.5% Petite Sirah. It opens with aromas of sage, red bell pepper and blackberry in this cold vintage wine. There is an herbaceous feel, typical of Napa Cabs from '11. Flavors open up considerable following an hour of aeration. There are flavors of gravel, rose petals, boysenberry and coffee grounds. This is an excellent and elegant effort for the vintage. (Best 2015-2022) - September, 2015 (OB)
