A solid bottle of pinot. We purchased a case of 375's at the winery this year and this third bottle hit the spot just like the others. We like wines with some bottle age, and these fill the bill.

I must say that i haven't had the pleasure of trying too many Napa Valley Pinot Noir's however this release from Clos du Val wet my appetite, it's full bodied and mineral nature was really appealing and i look forward to having more reference points against which i can compare this wine.
The wine is a medium to dark red in colour, the nose gives a mineral iodine character along with violets, dark cherry and leather.
The palate has stewed cherry with a graphite core and a slight cherry cola character that is enhanced by subtle spices, tannins are graphite like and frame the drying finish. Review Link - www.winereviewer.com.au (drink from 2014-2019)

Burgundy core, magenta rim. Singed, Bordeaux-like nose of earth, loam, leather, red berry fruit, and touches of cola and cedar. Balanced, mid-bodied palate mirrors the aromas, with vegetal notes of stewed beets, dried hibiscus, and a soft finish. Food enhances the fruit.

We enjoyed this Pinot. It has good, complex flavor, more of a medium body.
