“The core ethos of Clos du Val is the beauty of blended expressions. Above all, we prize the freshness of a blended wine, exuding power and structure, yet soft and subtle around the edges.”
–Olav Goelet, third-generation owner

Clos du Val Yettalil
A tribute to our founding matriarch, Henrietta Goelet, Yettalil is the fullest expression of our Stags Leap District Estate. A blend of primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, the wine is supported by Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec, and Petit Verdot.

97 Points & Best in Show Award
"...the wine is ample and mouthfilling, packed with pure, fresh, floral fruits, yet suggesting a little exotic spice, too. The soft yet ample tannins are evident, both lending the wine seriousness and food-friendliness yet also ensuring that it will endure well in time.”  -Decanter World Wine Awards 2024

97 Points & Top 100 Wine USA 2024
"The aromas are really pretty, with a floral, currant and blackcurrant quality. Some lavender and hints of fresh spearmint. It’s medium to full-bodied, and the polished and very refined tannins integrate nicely into the wine. Sophisticated."  -James Suckling

John and Henrietta Goelet founded Clos Du Val in 1972. A descendant of Bordeaux's famed wine merchant, Barton & Guestier, John had a vision of producing Cabernet Sauvignon that would rival the world’s best. French-trained winemaker Bernard Portet was selected to head the search for the perfect property from which to produce these wines. In 1972, two years and five continents later, a parcel in what would become the Stags Leap District in the Napa Valley was chosen to fulfill this lofty dream. Our inaugural wine, the 1972 Clos Du Val Cabernet Sauvignon, was part of the group that topped French wines in the legendary 1976 Judgment of Paris blind tasting. Ten years later, our Cabernet Sauvignon took first place in the Judgment of Paris rematch.
