点评:My wife and I only booked a by-the-glass tasting at Clos du Val, but we were made to feel like honored guests from the moment we arrived.
We were warmly welcomed and seated in a lovely outdoor tasting area. The surroundings are stunning — beautifully maintained grounds and a property that clearly reflects care and passion. The buildings are modern yet full of character, with thoughtful details like wall panels made from old oak casks adding a personal touch.
The wines were the true highlight. We started with the Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc —fresh, well-rounded, and very easy to enjoy—followed by a smooth and satisfying Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. These were served alongside delicious bread and an incredible homemade pesto, which paired beautifully with both wines.
We then moved on to a crisp, balanced Rosé of Cabernet Franc, and ended with the “Yettalil,” a red blend from the Stags Leap District, predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon. It was exceptional — elegant and full of depth, with a lovely balance of fruit and acidity. Definitely one for special occasions!
Overall, a memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Napa!
翻译:我和妻子在Clos du Val酒庄只预订了杯装品酒,但从抵达的那一刻起,我们就感受到了尊贵的客人般的待遇。
我们受到了热情的欢迎,并被安排在一个美丽的户外品酒区就座。周围的环境令人叹为观止——精心维护的庭院,以及体现着对酒庄的用心和热情的庄园。建筑现代而又充满个性,用旧橡木桶制成的墙板等贴心的细节更增添了个性化的气息。
葡萄酒才是真正的亮点。我们先品尝了纳帕谷长相思——清新、圆润、易于享用——然后是口感顺滑、令人满足的纳帕谷赤霞珠。搭配着美味的面包和令人惊艳的自制香蒜酱,与这两款葡萄酒完美搭配。
之后,我们品尝了一款清爽均衡的品丽珠桃红葡萄酒,最后以“Yettalil”结束,这是一款来自鹿跃区的红葡萄酒混酿,以赤霞珠为主。这款酒非常出色——优雅而富有深度,果味与酸度完美平衡。绝对是特殊场合的佳酿!
总而言之,这是一次难忘的体验。强烈推荐给所有来纳帕游玩的人!
