Clos du Val
Wineries / Breweries, Napa
Fodor's Review:
Austere Clos du Val doesn't seduce you with dramatic architecture or lush grounds, but it doesn't have to: the wines, crafted by Frenchman Bernard Portet, have a wide following, especially among those who are patient enough to cellar the wines for a number of years. Though Portet's team makes great zinfandel, pinot noir, and chardonnay, the real claim to fame is the reserve cabernet. If you don't mind spending a bit more, try to visit on a weekend, when they pour reserve and library wines. Anyone is welcome to try a hand at the boccie-style game of pétanque.
