Product Description
State Ranch lies northeast of Yountville and spans 23 acres divided by State Lane Road, featuring both mature and younger vines. The vineyard benefits from rocky loam soil with superb year-round drainage, contributing to the production of exceptional wines. Vines and grape clusters are moderate in size, thriving under full sun exposure daily. As the younger vines develop, multiple clones will be harvested to craft the final blend. Nickel & Nickel carefully selects grapes from 11 acres within this distinguished vineyard.

James SucklingRefined and earth-driven, showing tightly wound black-fruit aromas with underlying notes of graphite, bitter chocolate and cured meats. The palate is focused and pure with finely tuned tannins and a generous yet precise palate.

VinousThe 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley) is a fine entry-level offering from Clos du Val. Bright and punchy, with terrific nuance, the Cabernet has a lot to offer. Black cherry, graphite, lavender, licorice and dried herbs are all beautifully delineated. This mid-weight Cabernet Sauvignon captures all the energy of the year. Barrel Sample:(90-92)
Grape Variety
Cabernet Sauvignon
A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.
