Wine of the Week
2006 Napa Valley Clos Du Val Cabernet
Monday, December 7, 2009
Who wouldn't want to go to dinner with three goddesses?
This recently released cabernet is very big (85% cab), but has 15% cab franc, malbec, petite verdot blend to soften it up a bit. You get a lot of black fruit and great spices. Deep purple-black in color (word of caution- don't spill it on anything!!!), the 2006 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of black currant, cassis and spice. Intense flavors of black fruit, dried herbs and a hint of spice fill the mouth.
