($28): Though their wines are consistently among the best in Napa Valley, Clos du Val is not — and never was — a “cult” winery.  All their wines have the same grace and balance of this Chardonnay.  It’s toasty and rich without being oaky or obnoxious.  A perky lemony kick in the finish keeps it lively and makes you want to drink it, not just taste it.
