"The 2009 vintage was a great success for Clos du Val, and now they've released this fabulous wine, whose production was 3,000 cases. It's an absolute classic, a gorgeous example of Stags Leap, with lush blueberry, black currant, violet and mineral flavors, hard tannins and perfect acidity. You can begin drinking it in 2017, but it should really hit its stride in the 2020s."
