Editorial profile
Clos du Val is a third-generation, family-owned winery in Napa Valley's Stags Leap District, founded in 1972 by Bernard Portet and John Goelet and known for its Bordeaux-blending philosophy. Estate wines from the Hirondelle Vineyard anchor the Stags Leap District tier — Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec bottled separately, plus Yettalil and Three Graces, proprietary Cabernet-Sauvignon-led blends drawn from the same estate's five Bordeaux varieties.
A broader Napa Valley tier carries a Cabernet Sauvignon made every vintage since 1972 and a Sauvignon Blanc blended with Sémillon, and the estate also bottles a Sauvignon Blanc from Yountville. The winery earned early recognition through its involvement in the 1976 Judgment of Paris tasting.
