Clone 169 Cabernet Sauvignon - Mt Veeder 2018
Tasting Notes
Our clone 169 Cabernet sauvignon is a worthy addition to the family of Cabernet clones that Bell specializes in expressing. The dark, inky color in the glass draws you in to notes of rich wild berry, chaparral, and a subtle toast. The palate is the most primal of our clone wines, demonstrating a youthful, saturated wine with dark purple fruits , and with a hint of supportive oak. A long flavorful finish, balanced texture, and fine grained tannins frame the flavors and denote a wine that is going to be very long-lived, and certainly one of our favorites from this special vintage.

Clone 7 Cabernet Sauvignon - Napa Valley 2018
Tasting Notes
This Clone 7 once again demonstrates why it's one of the most popular Cabernet Sauvignon clones grown in the Napa Valley. The inky color in the glass draws you in with aromas of purple fruits, earthy honeycomb, mandarin peel and cracked peppercorn, not to mention an almost floral hint and some savory sage. The taste delivers what the nose promises, with rich plum, blueberry, and chaparral herbal notes, ending with a kiss of old, weathered oak and unsweetened cocoa powder. There is an old world sensibility to this new world Cabernet, and an intangible feeling of a wine that is already more integrated and developed than would normally be expected in such a young wine. A long finish, with balanced acidity, and well-integrated but ageworthy tannins complement the complex flavors that are sure to please Cabernet lovers of all types, even those who appreciate the greatest wines of Bordeaux.

Clone 6 Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
Tasting Notes
In the glass, dark, opaque inky color with a nose of blackberry, rum raisin, forest floor, earthy white pepper, and light savory notes. Pure and focused fruits of cassis and raspberry lead, and fig compote intermingle with cedar and sweet tobacco on a plush texture. The finish lingers for more than a minute, with a display of kirsch liqueur, sweet oak spice, and licorice.
