2021 Clos Du Val Yettalil Red Blend Stags Leap District Napa Valley

“The aromas are really pretty, with a floral, currant and blackcurrant quality. Some lavender and hints of fresh spearmint. It’s medium- to full-bodied, and the polished and very refined tannins integrate nicely into the wine. Sophisticated. Needs three or four years to open but already very sophisticated. It’s drinking well now, but try after 2028.” – James Suckling.com Review Date: June 2024
