Wow! If you usually think Cabernet Sauvignon when you think of Clos Du Val, of course that would make you a savvy aficionado. That said, this wine may get you thinking that there are other great things going on at the winery. This Pinot Noir is a fine bottle, showing cherry, raspberry, cedar, spice and dry earth aromas that bring you to a creamy, bright palate that delivers the nose and lingers with complexity. It sits right in the center of the style spectrum, and will pair nicely with white or red meats. Bravo!
