($38): Thankfully, Clos du Val retains their hallmark style of restraint and elegance with their 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon.  And they do it without sacrificing intensity or weight. This wine amazes with its plethora of flavors.  There’s the expected mix of black and red fruit flavors, but there is also alluring nuances of herbs, savory notes and even olives.  You are wowed by layers of flavors, but not hit over the head with power.  Fine tannins impart structure, making this a wine to savor with dinner, not for sipping as an aperitif.  Long and graceful, it expands as it sits in the glass. 93 Michael Apstein Oct 29, 2013
