1993-2007 Vertical Tasting

1993-2007 Vertical Tasting
Our
family, along with winemaker Frederic Delivert, sat down to the amazing
task of reviewing our wines from the inaugural 1993 to the upcoming
2007.
We had three objectives;
- Facilitate Frederic’s in depth knowledge of our wines from vintage to vintage
- Evaluate where we have been & where we are going
- Celebrate 15 years of Clark-Claudon history
There was much to celebrate!!!
Year
to year these stellar wines were bright, fresh, balanced, beautifully
rich & alluringly sexy, while most had the acidity & back bone
to assure continued aging. Importantly, they were not only amazingly
delicious, but they were also consistently flawless.
Favorites of the Tasting; the 1995, 2005 & the Upcoming 2007
These
3 vintages were unanimous favorites. Each was a perfect example of what
you look for in a truly great Cabernet; deep dark color, exquisite
aromas, rich full mouth feel, beautiful structure, perfect balance,
well integrated tannins & a long sumptuous finish. These are sexy
wines that speak of place!
Regretfully, the 1995 is sold out & the 2007 is not yet released, but
The 2005 will steal any show!
Drink some now & for years to come.

Vinfolio Issue # 210
Clark Claudon has a long history of making elegant Cabernet Sauvignon. A recent reminder came from Laurie Clark’s blog, which reported that their 1995 finished first in a 1998 San Francisco blind tasting of every French First Growth and all the California Cults. More recently, Eric Asimov of the New York Times opined in The Pour on August 19, 2008 that Clark Claudon was among a group of Napa wines which exemplified an “alternative universe” style that runs counter to the flashy, forward, extracted wines that are pretty hard to pass up when they are young. I admire the Doug Danielak-made structure of Tom and Laurie Clark’s 2005 Clark Claudon Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Napa Valley (VF 91). The elegance is atypical for California Cabernet and shows tireless dedication to making the best wine the site can provide. In this case “smaller” is pretty darn good! Consider that in 1998, when the vast majority of Napa Cabernets were suffering through a difficult vintage, Clark Claudon Cabernet Sauvignon received a Wine Advocate 94-point review.
