Item Description
Ah, the OUTSTANDING 1978 vintage! In the decade of the '70s, there were two vintages in Napa that garnered worldwide attention--1974 and yes...1978. Clos du Val is one of the CLASSIC producers in the Napa Valley. Located in the heart of the Stag's Leap District along the Silverado Trail, Clos du Val has been producing balanced and ageworthy wines for 40 years. Make no mistake about it, this is drinkable history. This bottle has been perfectly cellared since its release over three decades ago. Bid with confidence.
94 points Wine Spectator: "Ripe, smooth and elegant, with rich currant, cedar, coffee and tea flavors. Aging exceptionally well, showing fruit that's intense, lively, young and vibrant. The tannins are melting away on the finish, but this is very complete and classically styled."
Item Special Note
