Review:
Aged on the lees for 12 months in stainless steel, this wine saw no oak. Its original name – Hellenstein -- referred to hell stone, as the vineyards are on a mountain where the “sun burns like hell.” It was later renamed Heiligenstein, which translates as holy rock, and is a geological island of desert sandstone, with volcanic matter. Its earthy slate character lends out scents and flavors of honeyed apricot, salty pears, and stone fruit pith.

Review:
Anything but dramatic, this is a concentrated and beautifully crafted Heiligenstein dry riesling with the racy acidity and stony minerality we expect from this site. Very sleek and straight finish that some may find a bit tart, but we find very exciting. Sustainable. Drink or hold. - Stuart PIGOTT

Review:
This excellent expression of the Heiligenstein site has a wonderful youthful tension. The sleek, medium-bodied palate features understated power, great precision and Amalfi lemon freshness. Very long, focused finish with a cascade of dry flowers. Sustainable. Drink or hold. - Stuart PIGOTT

Medium-bodied and layered, with flavors of ripe peach, yellow apple, and subtle citrus framed by gentle spice and stony minerality. The palate is textural and precise, showing depth and energy, with a long, focused finish. Elegant and expressive, highlighting both fruit and site character. Aleks ZECEVIC

Review:
Lime curd, peaches, oolong tea and a hint of nutmeg on the nose. This is wonderfully concentrated and full- bodied but full of energy and bright, vivid acidity. Touches of salted caramel and honey in a very long finish. Drink or hold.

Leindl Riesling Ried Kogelberg is made from 100 percent Riesling.
Kogelberg is known as a Grand Cru vineyard.
Delicate yellow tropical fruit paired with overripe apricots. Juicy, good complexity, fruity sweetness of ripe peaches, pleasant acidity, citrus touch in the aftertaste, good aging potential.
Review:
Striking aromas of wild thyme and rosemary. Juicier than the nose suggests, this is a vibrant and complex dry riesling. I love the stoniness in the long, polished finish. Sustainable. Drink or hold.- Stuart PIGOTT

At Saint Cosme, their white wine traditions are as important and time-honored as the reds. The Clairette grape variety has found the ideal place to express itself in the cool, limestone valley of Saint Cosme. Produced by massal selection from the Le Poste vinevard, the Clairette for Hominis Fides thrives in Miocene limestone sand. Its aromas of fennel and grapefruit usher in its finely textured palate, imparting it with substantial agability.
Review:
In preparation for the imminent ability to bottle white wine under the Gigondas appellation, Louis Barruol has added another single-vineyard Clairette. The 2021 Cotes du Rhone Blanc Hominis Fides is a fine example from six-year-old vines, boasting gentle wood-spice accents to white-peach fruit and a touch of honeyed richness. It's medium to full-bodied, plump and rounded in the mouth, then finishes long and mouthwatering, with echoes of lime zest.

Clos du Val Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2023 is made from Cabernet Sauvignon.
The Wine
This is Clos du Val's Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon — the house's classically styled, broadly sourced Cabernet drawn from vineyards across the valley floor and surrounding benches. The 2023 is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Malbec and 4% Petit Verdot. It pours a deep ruby and opens with pure cassis and black cherry lifted by graphite, tobacco leaf, sweet brown spice and a whisper of cured herbs. Medium- to full-bodied and beautifully balanced, it is firm without ever turning hard, with fine-grained tannins, bright acidity and a long, silky, cocoa-dusted finish. A polished, food-friendly Napa Cabernet that drinks wonderfully now and will hold comfortably into the early 2030s — and, at this price, one of the genuine values in classic Napa Valley Cabernet.
Winery Info
Clos du Val was founded in 1972 in the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley by French-born winemaker Bernard Portet and American proprietor John Goelet. Portet grew up at Château Lafite-Rothschild, where his father was technical director, and he set out to make Napa wines in a restrained, ageworthy Bordeaux idiom rather than the bigger, riper California style of the day. The bet paid off almost at once: at the legendary 1976 Judgment of Paris, Clos du Val's debut 1972 Cabernet was one of only a handful of California reds chosen to stand against first-growth Bordeaux — and in the celebrated ten-year rematch of that tasting, it finished first of all the wines. More than fifty years on, Clos du Val remains one of Napa's benchmark houses, its wines prized for elegance, balance and a graceful capacity to age. The engraving of the Three Graces on the label is a nod to the harmony the family has always chased in the glass.
Review:
Refined and earth-driven, showing tightly wound black-fruit aromas. The palate is focused and pure with finely tuned tannins and a generous yet precise palate. A lovely wine to drink now or cellar.
