Clos Du Val Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2023 (750ml) *
Product price
$76.99
Description
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon in an approachable, food-friendly register, this 2023 from Clos Du Val is built around Cabernet (75 percent) with Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot rounding out the blend. It's an appellation-level wine that takes itself seriously, medium-bodied and nicely concentrated, with the structure to reward a few years in the cellar.
The nose leads with pure cassis and darker berries, lifted by rose petal, brown spice, tobacco, and a graphite edge, with new oak folded in rather than laid on top. On the palate blue fruit and black cherry carry through, framed by firm, fine-grained tannins that give it real backbone, and it closes long on a note of cocoa powder. Beautifully knit and balanced, easy to enjoy now but with the grip to hold.

Expert Reviews
Such a fine, classic, easy-drinking, beautifully knit wine in 2023. It hits all the right marks for excellent purity of fruit and mineral complexity. Fragrant brown spices and toasty oak are seamlessly integrated, while blue fruit and black cherry abound on the palate, framed by firm, fine-grained tannins and a lasting cocoa-powder finish. (Decanter, March 2026)
The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is a fabulous entry-level offering in this range. Bright, aromatic and punchy, the 2023 is seriously beautiful from start to finish. Rose petal, spice and new leather meld into a core of dark red/purplish fruit. There's a good bit of tannin, making this a pretty serious appellation wine. (Vinous, November 2025)
Based on 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec, and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon offers wonderfully pure cassis and darker berries intermixed with tobacco, graphite, and some savory herb nuances. It's medium-bodied and nicely concentrated, with ripe tannins and good overall balance. This smoking value represents impeccably made, satisfying, balanced Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink 2026-2033. (Jeb Dunnuck, December 2025)
