Mission Codename Clos Call
Today’s Clos Du Val 2011 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a beautifully rich and layered wine that screams to be enjoyed alongside a perfectly grilled steak.
One of the things we love most about Clos Du Val is working with expert winemaker Kristy Melton. A former rodeo queen in West Texas, Kristy learned her craft at some incredible wineries, including Iron Horse Vineyards and Saintsbury. She was recently named one of Wine Enthusiast’s “Top 40 Under 40” rising stars in the wine world - one of only 2 women winemakers on the list. She aims to showcase each wine’s unique characteristics and terroir, and today’s Cab fits this ideal perfectly. Layered with lush dark fruit and subtle spice, the wine continues to evolve, with deeper flavors emerging, the longer it lingers in the glass.
Today’s wine is a true stunner, and promises to be even better with a few years of cellaring. The challenge will be resisting the urge to drink it all now!
