Beginning with 150 acres in what we now know as Stags Leap District and an additional 180 vineyard acres in the hills of Carneros, Clos du Val reached immediate success with the first vintage of Cabernet Sauvignon. The 1972 vintage was so outstanding that four years later their winery was chosen as one of six to represent California in the historic Judgment in Paris. Clos du Val went back to Paris for a rematch in 1986 with the same wine and won first reaffirming the grace and age-ability of their wines. Since then they have been named “Winery of the Year” four times and the current winemaker, Kristy Melton, was honored in 2013 as being names one of Wine Enthusiasts “40 under 40”.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"first odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 48.524%;\" class=\"label\"\u003eVarietal\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.107%;\" class=\"data last\"\u003eProprietary Blend\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 48.524%;\" class=\"label\"\u003eVintage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.107%;\" class=\"data last\"\u003e2019\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 48.524%;\" class=\"label\"\u003eRating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.107%;\" class=\"data last\"\u003e97-99 RP\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 48.524%;\" class=\"label\"\u003eBottle Size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.107%;\" class=\"data last\"\u003e750 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 48.524%;\" class=\"label\"\u003eBottle Quantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.107%;\" class=\"data last\"\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 48.524%;\" class=\"label\"\u003eCountry\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.107%;\" class=\"data last\"\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 48.524%;\" class=\"label\"\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.107%;\" class=\"data last\"\u003eCalifornia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 48.524%;\" class=\"label\"\u003eLocation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.107%;\" class=\"data last\"\u003eNorth Coast\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 48.524%;\" class=\"label\"\u003eProducer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.107%;\" class=\"data last\"\u003eOpus One\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"even\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 48.524%;\" class=\"label\"\u003eColor\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.107%;\" class=\"data last\"\u003eRed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"last odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 48.524%;\" class=\"label\"\u003eWine Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 51.107%;\" class=\"data last\"\u003eTable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"first odd\"\u003e\n\u003cth class=\"label\"\u003eRating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"data last\"\u003e97-99 RP - \u003cspan\u003eWinemaker Michael Silacci commented that usually the blends are finished in January or February after the vintage.
