Clos du Val was named the top-ranked American Sauvignon Blanc at the 2025 Decanter World Wine Awards, a remarkable achievement for an estate best known for its Cabernet, and a testament to winemaker Carmel Greenberg's work since joining from Dominus Estate. The wine is sourced from cooler areas of Napa Valley where morning fog and afternoon breezes preserve freshness and aromatic intensity, with the grapes fermented primarily in stainless steel to retain varietal purity, though select lots see neutral French oak and extended lees contact for added texture. The result shows beautiful texture with sliced grapefruit, pears, flowers, and hints of fennel, medium-bodied, dry, and crisp with crushed stone notes.

About The Producer

The founding story alone earns Clos du Val a permanent place in Napa Valley lore. John and Henrietta Goelet challenged a young Bernard Portet, fresh out of winemaking school and steeped in Bordeaux tradition, to travel the world and find a place to grow Cabernet Sauvignon that could rival the best on earth. A two-year global search ended in the Stags Leap District, and in 1972 Clos du Val planted its first vines and made its first wines. That debut 1972 Cabernet Sauvignon was one of only six California wines selected for Steven Spurrier's legendary 1976 Judgment of Paris, and when the same wines were retasted in a 1986 rematch, Clos du Val's 1972 Cabernet placed first overall. Portet led winemaking for 37 years, building a house style defined by restraint, balance, and a distinctly French sensibility that set Clos du Val apart from its increasingly extracted Napa neighbors. The estate has never been sold and remains entirely in Goelet family hands, now in its third generation, with Olav Goelet serving as CEO and winemaker Carmel Greenberg and viticulturist Ryan Decker steering the wines forward. The flagship Yettalil, a Bordeaux-style blend from the Stags Leap District estate vineyards, signals clearly that the founding ambition is very much alive and well under new family leadership.
