Plush and rich and very good at what it does. Oak doesn't swamp it but it very much there!

One of my favorite Napa Cabs. Now that is camping in style!

Hell yes! Big oak and a dried fruit quality. Green out of the bottle with the eucalyptus settling down after some air. 3 of 4 blind tasters guessed Italian.

Excellent wine. I have tasted just as good at a lower price and hence my rating is sub 9 (a 9 for taste and a minus 0.1 for price)

We went to the winery several years ago and have loved it ever since. Maybe our favorite.

Silky feel. Mellow tannins. Still a good deal of fruit in 2009 vintage.

Clos Du Val is a good representation of a solid Napa cab and the 2009 is just that, good but not great.
