Clos Du Val Napa Valley 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon, $34.99-$39.99, 93 points, poured an inky core black grading deep crushed black currant toward the broad crystalline wine ring.
Aromatic red raspberry jam, sandalwood, and fresh laundered linen with soft floral and black fruit smells wafted wonderful.
Full-bodied, fruity, herbal, appropriately tannic with good acidity managed a near perfect gestalt of flowers, fruit, and herbs with hints of sweet tobacco and warm spices.
Finished long on the trailing palate, hints of pomegranate, mint, eucalyptus and a well-integrated 14.1% alcohol.

This just might be the best CDV Napa Cab I've had!
