Tasting notes
The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 7 has more upfront fruit than the Clone 4 and boasts terrific notes of black cherries, blueberries, crushed violets, and camphor. With terrific sweetness of fruit, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and ripe, present tannins, it's another beautiful wine from this estate that has the class and balance to keep for 15-20 years.

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 7 shows the darker side of the estate. An infusion of black cherry, plum, mocha, espresso and licorice shapes this racy, voluptuous Cabernet Sauvignon. Plush and giving, with no hard edges, the 2015 will drink well with minimal cellaring. This is a style built on immediacy and fruit texture.
Inky purple-black in color, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 7 reveals blackberries and blueberries with lots of oak scents, spice box and fragrant earth notes with a waft of roses. The medium to full-bodied palate is very firm, hard and bitter with lots of oak.
