title: Clos du Val 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (Stags Leap District)
description: Lots to admire in this Cab. It's bone dry and rich in blackberry and cedar flavors, with overtones of mocha, anise and toast, and is very tannic. Clearly made in a leaner style than today's high-alcohol cult style, it trades some richness for elegance and finesse. This is a wine that puts its bet on cellaring. Try after 2013.
variety: Cabernet Sauvignon
