A zesty, mineral-driven Napa Valley white that marries Sauvignon Blanc’s brightness with Sémillon’s graceful texture.
Taste
This vibrant 2023 Sauvignon Blanc offers a burst of citrus and tropical freshness right from the glass—think Meyer lemon, grapefruit, and juicy pineapple. On the palate, crisp acidity and chalky minerality provide structure, while notes of white nectarine, lemongrass, apricot, and tangerine unfold with elegance and length. The 17% Sémillon lends a subtle roundness, elevating texture without softening the wine’s lively core.
About the Winery/Winemaker
Clos du Val is a historic Napa Valley estate founded in 1972 and located in the famed Stags Leap District. Still family-owned and now in its third generation, Clos du Val blends Old World sensibility with New World terroir. Known for Bordeaux-inspired elegance and timeless winemaking, their commitment to finesse and balance shows in every bottle.
Why We Love It
We love how this Sauvignon Blanc strikes the perfect chord between refreshment and refinement. It’s a step above your everyday sipper—thanks to careful aging in stainless steel and French oak—and shows Clos du Val’s mastery of balance. Whether you're pairing with shellfish, goat cheese, or enjoying al fresco, this bottle brings energy and elegance.
