From the prestigious Beckstoffer Georges III vineyard in Rutherford, the Bell Clone 6 Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 is as the name suggests, 100% Clone 6 Cabernet. True to form, it exhibits lush, saturating notes of boysenberry, black cherries, sandalwood, tar and meadow flowers. In the mouth it's opulent and silkily textured, with juicy black fruit, cassis, and fine, ripe tannins. In addition, an incredibly lengthy finish that tapirs off with receding exotic spice notes, baker's cocoa and cedar.

Still a baby. This wine has a long life ahead of it. Can't wait to revisit my second bottle in 5 years or so.

Bold, luscious and a bonafide oak bomb but very nicely integrated. A great representation of a Rutherford Cabernet!

Lot 208 bottled in August this wine has that textbook Rutherford dust with a solid core of currant Barry's touch of mint with layers of juicy fruit on the tongue very smooth and elegant style most excellent

Awesome. Dark berry and cherry notes. Great balance. Brooding.

We had the 2014 Vintage on 1/4-5/23. A terrific Napa Cab that well represents the Napa Floor. The bouquet is quite floral and has notes of eucalyptus. Blackberry, plum, cassis and oak are on the palate. Full bodied and well balanced. A real good wine. I am glad I have more of this and other vintages.
