Wine Podcast: The Honest Pour With John Lenart

I travel to Napa Valley more than any wine region in the world. That's just one reason I get excited to interview wine makers from historic wineries from Napa Valley. In the decades since the historic "Judgement of Paris" tasting Clos du Val did an amazing job in building its brand. But at what cost? I sat down with Ted Henry, wine maker at Clos du Val to talk about the rebirth of this historic Napa winery, the commitment of the owners to invest not only monetarily in  the endeavor and of course to taste the first cabernet sauvignons from the efforts.  The 2015 cabs from Clos du Val may be a bit more expensive than previous vintages but you'll be rewarded with wines that are expressive, loaded with finesse, drinkable now, but ones that will pay huge dividends after a decade or so of aging.
