A philosophy of blending sets Clos du Val apart from our Napa Valley neighbors, but that is not why we blend. We blend because it reveals character and character unlocks enjoyment. In short, blending is why Clos du Val was created and why Clos du Val still exists today. A blended wine is the culmination of a million little moments that are only revealed when you pull the cork. The beauty of blended expressions is more than a winemaking technique; it is our cultural inheritance, the intention that bridges from founding winemaker Bernard Portet to our gifted winemaker Carmel Greenberg today.

Even as the aperture widens, we focus on understanding the ground beneath our boots and farming intentionally and harmoniously with nature. Our estate vineyards reach beyond our home in the Stags Leap District, contributing to our Napa Valley bottlings. This wider lens allows us to bring the beauty of blended expressions to a broader range of fresh, elegant, and timeless wines.
