What reviewers say
“This review is QPR based. Not complex, but sooo pleasant and friendly. Cranberry and wet stone nose with savory palare with cigar, vanilla and pepper undertones. Nicely integrated tannins and perfect acidity. Drinks with jubilation and delight. Extra half star for competitive pricing.”
From a top-rated Vivino review for this bottle.
Summary
Clos de Napa Pinot Noir is a red from Napa Valley, the United States. It sits in the $15–30 band, on a lowest observed 750 ml price of $21.50.
111 Vivino reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 115 reviewers with at least two ratings each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against 1,155 other reds from the United States, not against the corpus as a whole.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this bottle against every other wine those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — four stars from someone who hands out fives means something very different from four stars from someone who rarely goes above three. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a star average.
- Global percentile
- Where Clos de Napa Pinot Noir lands against every wine we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — wines of the same type from the same country. A Chilean red is judged against Chilean reds, not against Champagne. Ranked against Red · United States (1,156 wines).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each wine keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 111.
