She came to make better ones.\nAs head winemaker at one of Napa's oldest estates — and the first Israeli woman to lead a Napa Valley winery — Carmel has worked alongside some of the valley's most respected names: Cakebread, Dominus, Buccella. What she took from all of it wasn't a formula. It was a point of view.\nIn this episode, we get into what that actually means at the winery level — how she thinks about picking, pressing, and blending; why freshness and restraint are harder to achieve than extraction; and what Clos du Val looks like when she's done with it.\nThis is a conversation about the direction Napa is heading — and who's quietly leading it there.\nChapters:\n00:00 – Welcome & Introduction\n02:15 – Carmel's path into winemaking\n06:40 – From UC Davis to Napa's top estates\n10:30 – Joining Clos du Val\n14:20 – Elegance vs. power — where Napa is heading\n20:10 – Terroir and vineyard decisions\n26:45 – Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet philosophy\n32:30 – Fermentation and barrel aging\n38:50 – Innovation at a historic property\n44:10 – The future of Clos du Val\n48:30 – Final thoughts & little easter egg\nSubscribe for more conversations with the people behind the wine.\nAvailable on YouTube and all podcast platforms.\nwinecentricshow.com\nFilmed at: Saint Pierre Wine Bar, Raleigh, North\n🔔 Subscribe for more deep dives into wine culture.\n🎧 Listen now on YouTube + all podcast platforms\n🔗 Full episode and show notes at winecentricshow.com\nWe're grateful for the support of our episode partners:\n▪️ Fearrington House: https://fearrington.com/\nThe official wine glass of the Wine Centric Show is Glasvin.\nUse code WINECENTRIC for 10% off at https://tidd.ly/41vgdSQ\nWe’re grateful for the support of our episode partners:\n▪️Fearrington House: https://fearrington.com/\nThis episode was filmed at Saint Pierre Wine Bar in Raleigh, NC\nBackend Tags:\nNapa Valley winemaking, Carmel Greenberg, Clos du Val winery, Napa Cabernet...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/vUFcStfgzzIgLspOTR6nSw_boW0s7hNF7Dbay33qG4M/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mNDhm/ODNkYjEzNWYzMGI0/Yzg0ZTUzY2RlMGYw/OWY4Ni5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
