Delicious the 2nd time around. Served with Porterhouse and was extremely well balanced. Bold black cherry, acidity and tannic really paired well.

Clone 4 speaks to@my palette. This was Christmas in a bottle. Prime Rib candidate. Lovely black fruit and long finish.

Intense, powerful Cabernet Sauvignon that needs steak. Extraordinary flavor and great elegance and smoothness in the finish. An excellent Napa Cabernet, and a paradigm of this big style of wine.

Absolutely delicious. 2016 vintage, decanted to breathe and paired with steak and veggies.

Dark, opaque brick, medium viscosity, light staining on the eye. Vanilla, cherries, wet hay on the nose. Dark chocolate, cocoa, ripe, candied cherries, on the palette. Well-balanced acid and smooth tannins, sweetness and spiciness, long finish. An absolute treat.

2008 Bell Clone 4 Cab. Delicious. Very much in the Bourdeaux style. Ready to drink with mellow tannins.
